Snickerdoodle Sheet Cake

I love chocolate sheet cake, so I tried this out for a ward even one time!  I found it here on sweet treats.  Another plus: no special ingredients!  I think i always have these things.

Butter and flour an 18 x 24 in sheet cake pan {or two round cake pans for layer cake}. Sift together both flours, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon and set aside.

Cream butter and sugar until pale and fluffy.  Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla.

Alternating, add dry mixture, then milk in three batches.

Bake for 30-35 minutes.  Let cool completely before frosting.
