Have made this twice, first time as written, okay. Second time, used French vanilla cake mix, a generous teaspoon of cinnamon, and a teaspoon of LorAnn oils cinnamon emulsion, and allowed the frosted cake to stand in the refrigerator until well chilled. WOW!! what a difference. This is now part of my go-to cake recipes. French vanilla
