For the Cupcakes
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Substituting with cake flour will yield an even lighter texture.

  • 1 tablespoon Dried Culinary Lavender Use cautiously as it can overpower.
  • 1 cup Butter (Unsalted) Coconut oil is a dairy-free alternative.
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar Sift before use for a smooth consistency.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract A dash of salt can help balance sweetness.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
  2. Cream together 1 cup of softened unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add in three large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1/2 cup of honey and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of dried culinary lavender, and a pinch of salt.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet, alternating with 1/2 cup of milk, until just combined.
  6. Fill the cupcake liners about two-thirds full and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Beat 1/2 cup of softened unsalted butter; gradually add 2 cups of sifted powdered sugar, 1/4 cup of honey, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
  9. Frost the completely cool cupcakes with the frosting and garnish with a sprinkle of dried lavender.
