Before this recipe, I saw many box cake recipes out there which are very similar to this one.  Many of them use yellow cake mix and require to add spices into the batter.  In my opinion, that is a few more steps to do.  Isn’t there other more convenient way?

The other setback of those recipes I saw online make big muffins.  Anything with warm spices like cinnamon always tastes better in smaller bites.  Otherwise, it could be very overwhelming.

You know I always strive for something easier and quicker to get the best result.  So, I thought that I would use spice cake mix to give it a try.  Voila!  What an awesome surprise.
