2 Tsp. Cinnamon
1/2 Tsp. Salt

Using a mixer combine oil, eggs , sugar, cinnamon and salt. Mix in remaining ingredients- pour into greased pans. Bake at 325 degrees for 1 hour or until springs back when touched. Let cool before frosting.

Frosting-
1/2 stick of Butter
2 -8OZ pkgs of Cream Cheese

Cream first 3 ingredients - gradually add powdered sugar. I like to beat it well and get it really fluffy and add a little cinnamon and nutmeg. You can add chopped nuts to the top of the cake after frosting.
