Description

Delightful cupcakes infused with floral lavender and rich honey, perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon culinary lavender
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey (for frosting)
  • 1 tablespoon milk (for frosting)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
  • Additional lavender for garnish (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake pan with paper liners or grease lightly.
  2. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
  3. Beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together in a large mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Blend in the honey and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the culinary lavender.
  7. Spoon the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling them about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  10. Beat the softened butter until creamy for the frosting, then gradually add the powdered sugar. Mix in the honey, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  11. Frost the cooled cupcakes generously and sprinkle with additional dried lavender if desired.

Notes

Ensure butter and eggs are at room temperature for better blending. Avoid overmixing to keep the cupcakes soft.
