directions

Method

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two 8" pans and set aside. Place the cake mix, oil, eggs, cinnamon, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl and blend for three minutes, or until well-blended. Pour evenly into two pans, smoothing with spatula. Bake for 28-32 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly pressed with your finger. Remove and allow to cool for ten minutes. Remove from pans & then cool for another 30 minutes. Place the cream cheese & butter in a mix bowl. Blend until combined. Add sifted cocoa powder, cinnamon, and confectioner's sugar, and finally vanilla. Blend until combined and icing looks fluffy. Add an additional 1/4-1/2 cup confectioners' sugar if needed. Ice cake and dust with dark chocolate candy bar shavings to finish.
