Ideas For Making A Snickerdoodle Layer Cake

When making a snickerdoodle layer cake, it's important to remember the core snickerdoodle flavor elements: cinnamon sugar and a touch of tanginess. As such, you can base your cake recipe on a boxed vanilla cake mix, a spice cake mix, or even a cinnamon swirl crumb cake mix.

Between each layer, you can add some more snickerdoodle flavor by using a brown sugar buttercream frosting or even a tangy cream cheese frosting — plain or infused with cinnamon sugar. Really, it just depends on how hard you want to be hit in the face with the essence of snickerdoodle.

Of course, you can use the same frosting on the outside of the cake. If you're confident, roll the frosted cake in a sheet pan of cinnamon sugar to give it a good snickerdoodle dusting or sprinkle on cinnamon sugar. You can even add snickerdoodle cookies to the top.
