Ingredients

  • 2 cups milk, your choice
  • 2⁄3 cup oil + more for oiling
  • 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 2 pkgs Chocolaty Temptation Cupcake Mix
  • 1⁄4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 recipe Spiced Cream Cheese Icing
  • 1⁄2 pkg (8 oz/250 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp butter, softened
  • 1⁄4 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1⁄4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1⁄2 cup icing sugar

Preparation

  1. Lightly oil two 8" Round Cake Pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together milk, oil, vinegar, and mix. Divide batter between pans and smooth top.
  3. Microwave one cake at a time on high, 5 min. Rest in pan 6 min; invert onto wire rack to cool. Or, bake both cakes, at the same time, in preheated 350° F oven for 24–26 min. Cool in pan 10 min before unmolding onto racks.
  4. Let cakes cool completely. You can place them in the fridge to speed up the process.
  5. To assemble, spread a spoonful of icing in centre of a cake plate or pedestal. Place cake on top. Spread half the icing over top of the cake. Gently place remaining cake on top. Spread remaining icing over top of cake, just to the edges. There will be leftover icing—if you wish, you can ice the whole cake or freeze it for another day.
