Cinnamon Cupcakes


Makes 24 cupcakes

Cupcakes:
2-1/4 cups sifted cake flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup CRISCO all-vegetable shortening or 3/4 CRISCO Stick
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup milk
4 egg whites
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Frosting:
1/4 cup CRISCO all-vegetable shortening or 1/4 CRISCO stick
2-1/2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
2 egg whites
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Preheat oven to 350ºF.
For Cupcakes, combine cake flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
Cream Crisco and vanilla extract. Add 1-1/2 cups sugar gradually, creaming until fluffy.
Alternately add dry ingredients in fourths and milk in thirds, beating only until smooth after each addition.
Add unbeaten egg whites to batter and mix at medium speed until blended.
Spoon batter into paperlined muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Combine 2 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon sugar over batter in each cup. Lightly swirl into batter with knife.
Bake at 350ºF for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool.
For Frosting, put Crisco into a mixer bowl. Gradually beat in 1 cup confectioners' sugar; set aside.
Beat egg whites until soft peaks are formed. Gradually add remaining 1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, beating until mixture holds soft peaks. Gradually add Crisco mixture, beating until smooth and creamy. Blend in vanilla extract and cinnamon.
Spread frosting on cooled cupcakes.
