Vanilla Honey Cupcake Recipe

Hi all! So I hosted a videogame tournament this past Saturday and I needed a fairly generic cupcake flavor as part of the prizes (the prizes for each tourny were some cupcakes and a $15 Walmart gift card thanks to my mom :D), so I made the vanilla honey cupcakes again. Since this is the second time I've made them, I feel like it's safe enough to make this a recipe :). This is an altered version of the classic vanilla cupcake recipe from cooks.com.

*Note, these cupcakes normally come out pretty dense from this recipe. Just be aware of that.

Honey Vanilla Cupcakes (makes 24)

1 cup softened butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup of honey
4 eggs
4 tsp. vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
4/3 cup cold milk

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Cream butter, sugar and honey together.
(The red directions are from the actual vanilla recipe)

Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating after each addition. Stir in vanilla.

In a separate bowl, stir together all dry ingredients. Add to butter mixture; stir in milk.

Bake 18-24 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Vanilla Honey Frosting

1 cup of softened unsalted butter (2 sticks)
3-4 cups of confectioner's/powdered sugar
2-3 tsp of milk
1-2 tbsp of honey
2 tsp vanilla extract
salt (optional)

Cream butter on medium mixer speed until light and fluffy. Turn to low speed and add powdered sugar. Mix in the rest of the ingredients to taste. If the frosting is too stiff, add more milk. If it's too thin, add more sugar.



Enjoy :D!!
