🍯Ingredients

CUPCAKES

  • 1/4 cup softened butter

  • 1/4 cup sugar

  • 3/4 cup Fingerlakes Honey Company honey

  • 2 eggs

  • 1/2 cup buttermilk

  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 Tbsp. baking powder

  • 1/4 tsp. salt


Honey Buttercream Frosting

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature

  • 1/3 cup honey plus 2 tbsp

  • 4-5 cups powdered sugar

  • milk as needed for thinning out frosting

🥣Directions

CAKE

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°.

  2. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake papers.

  3. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (in stand mixer with paddle attachment if available).

  4. Mix in honey, eggs, buttermilk and vanilla.

  5. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt.

  6. Mix into the batter until just blended.

  7. Scoop the batter into the cups evenly.

  8. Bake Cupcakes in 350° for about 20 minutes or when the tops spring back when lightly pressed. Cool on wire rack



Honey Buttercream Frosting

  1. Cream together the butter and the honey for 2 minutes (in stand mixer with paddle attachment if available).

  2. Add 2 cups of the powdered sugar. Start on low speed on the mixer, beat until smooth and creamy, about 3-5 minutes.

  3. Gradually add the remaining sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating well after each addition (about 2 minutes), until the icing is thick enough to be of good spreading consistency. Use milk to thin out frosting to reach desired consistency.

  4. Spread on cupcakes and decorate
