Ingredients:
For the Cake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup whole milk
- 4 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

For the Frosting:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 3-4 tablespoons whole milk
For the Topping:

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch cake pans and set aside.

Make the cake: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Add the softened butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the crushed Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal.
-
Bake the cake: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Make the frosting: While the cakes are cooling, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and enough milk to achieve a spreadable consistency.
-
Assemble the cake: Once the cakes have cooled, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of frosting on top, then repeat with the remaining layers. Frost the sides of the cake, then press the whole Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal into the frosting on the top and sides of the cake.
