Ingredients

Honey Lemon Cake:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 ½ cups all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Honey Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • cup honey
  • 3 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

Honey Lemon Cupcakes:

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray cake mold with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs, one at a time, and mix until just combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. In a small bowl combine milk, honey, vanilla, and lemon juice.
  5. Add half of the flour mixture to the butter mixture, beating until just combined. Add in the milk mixture, then add the remaining flour mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. Fill cake mold ⅔ of the way full. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.

Honey Cream Cheese Frosting:

  1. Beat cream cheese, butter, and honey until fluffy. Add in powdered sugar, one cup at time, mixing after each cup.
  2. Divide a small amount of frosting and place in a separate bowl. Mix in black color gel until you reach desired shade.
  3. In the larger bowl, mix in golden yellow color gel until you reach desired shade.
  4. Fill piping bags with frosting and chill in the fridge while the cakes cool.
  5. Once cakes cool completely, remove icing from the refrigerator. Pipe golden yellow frosting on top in a circular pattern, letting some drip down the sides. Pipe the “Hunny” lettering on the sides of the pots.
