2 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup sugar

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Spray a 13 x 9 x 2 inch pan with cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl, mix all the dry ingredients until fully mixed.
Stir in the wet ingredients just until everything is well blended.

Notes

This recipe makes just a thin glaze of frosting for the cake. For a thicker frosting, make a double batch and add extra powdered sugar to thicken it.
