5. Place your batter in a lined 9x11 baking dish and bake on 350F for 50-55 minutes.
6. While your cake is baking make your coffee by combining 2 shots of espresso and 2 tbsp of maple syrup.
7. Once your cake completely cools, poke holes in it and add your coffee. Allow this to seep into your cake.
8. Add your butter and cream cheese to a stand mixer with a whisk attachment. Mix on high for 2 minutes before adding your confectioners sugar, milk and cinnamon. Mix on high for 2 minutes.
9. Frost your cake with the prepared frosting and enjoy!
