Sprinkle half of the cinnamon mixture over batter, then run a knife through it to swirl. Repeat using remaining cake batter and cinnamon mixture. Bake according to cake package directions. Frosting: Beat together cream cheese, butter and vanilla. Slowly add powdered sugar until desired consistency. Spread over cooled cake. Optional garnish: Reserve a little cinnamon mixture to sprinkle over cake.
