    Happy Thursday one and all. Only one more day until the weekend and time for the second recipe for Cupcake Week. If you didn't catch the first recipe (Chocolate Cupcakes with a Buttery Caramel Filling), make sure you check it out!

    Today's recipe is a non chocolate (I know so sad) but just as delicious Vanilla Cupcakes with Cinnamon Spice Frosting. This is my super soft, moist and fluffy vanilla cupcake recipe with a deliciously sweet spiced frosting using cinnamon and a touch of mixed spice. This one is for all you non chocoholics out there or anyone who wants a warm comforting cupcake. The smells of Cinnamon is the definition of comfort am I right?

    I kept the filling on these cupcakes simple by just using the cinnamon spice frosting with the addition of crushed biscuits to give it a little texture and crunch. You could of course omit the crushed biscuits if you with and just fill the cupcakes with the frosting or omit filling these altogether.
