Cinnamon Devil's Food Cupcakes

This makes a huge amount of cupcakes, i am sure that you could freeze some and frost them later. I made these recently and baked them in fancy foil muffin liners, and took them to a senior's home, they were enjoyed by the residents and the staff, everyone wanted this recipe! I frosted these with my buttercream frosting, recipe#80118 with a teaspoon of almond extract added in to it but you can use your favorite frosting recipe to top these cupcakes
