Let cake cool completely before frosting.

In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter together until smooth and fluffy.

Add powdered sugar gradually, then beat in cinnamon and vanilla.

For extra Oreo flavor, use Oreo pudding mix instead of yellow cake (if available).

Letting the cake sit overnight makes the flavor even richer and moister.

Serve chilled or at room temperature.
