2 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 tsp vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and cinnamon.
In another bowl, beat softened butter with sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time and mix in vanilla.
Gradually combine dry ingredients and milk into the butter mixture until just combined.

For frosting, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. Gradually add heavy cream and mix until fluffy.
