Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
Tip: Make sure to grease the liners for easy removal.
- 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Tip: Don't forget to sift the dry ingredients for a smooth batter.
- 3
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the honey, sugar, and butter until light and fluffy.
Tip: Make sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl for a smooth mixture.
- 4
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
Tip: Take your time and make sure each egg is fully incorporated.
- 5
Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Tip: Stop mixing as soon as the ingredients are combined, or your cupcakes might become tough.
- 6
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
Tip: Make sure to fill each cup about 2/3 full to prevent overflowing.
- 7
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Tip: Keep an eye on the cupcakes as they can quickly go from underbaked to overbaked.
- 8
Allow the cupcakes to cool completely in the pan before frosting.
Tip: This will help the cupcakes retain their shape and prevent the frosting from melting.
- 9
To make the honey glaze, whisk together the honey and 25g of water in a small bowl until smooth.
Tip: Adjust the consistency of the glaze to your liking by adding more honey or water.
- 10
Drizzle the honey glaze over the cooled cupcakes.
Tip: Make sure to cover the entire surface, but don't worry if it gets a bit messy – it's all part of the charm!
