Hi Everyone! Hope you had a great weekend. This is the Honey Cupcakes that I've mentioned earlier in my previous post How To Make Coloured Sugar. It is a very simple recipe and honey was added in the cake. Just remember not to overmix the ingredients while mixing or else after baking you'll get a tough cake. To make the cupcakes more presentable, I've whipped up some fresh topping cream with whipping cream and sprinkled with some yellow coloured sugar but for long lasting decorations, I suggest you to use butter cream or meringue icing instead. These Honey Cupcakes are great for giving away or served in a party to impress your guests.
Honey Cupcakes
125g Butter (softened)
110g Caster sugar
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1 tbsp Honey
2 Eggs
185g Plain flour (sieve together with baking powder)
1 tsp Baking powder
125ml Milk
Whipped cream
120g Fresh topping cream
60g Whipping cream (milac cream from PH)
Method:
- Preheat oven to 170C.
- Beat butter, sugar, vanilla and honey until light and creamy.
- Gradually add the eggs and beat until well combined.
- Add flour and milk alternately and beat until just combined.
- Pipe or spoon the mixture into muffin tins lined with paper cases and bake for 25-30 mins or until cooked when tested with a skewer. Allow to cool on a wire rack.
- Whisk fresh topping cream and whipping cream together to peak form.
- Place whipped cream in a piping bag with a #14 plain round tip and pipe in circular motion on cake.
- Store cupcakes in refrigerator and sprinkle with coloured sugar before serve.
Enjoy!
beautiful cupcakes looks wonderful

ReplyDeleteHi Jo, The Fresh topping cream is usually for making mousse cakes and spreading on birthday cakes (you can check on my birthday cakes for kids at the categories)while whipping cream is cooking cream (unsweetened), I usually used this for ganache cream (chocolate cream).
@Angel @ Cook.Bake.Love
ReplyDeleteAngel, Already posted the tutorial as you requested. Whipping cream is non-dairy cream while fresh cream is usually for mousse cake and spreading.

These are adorable! I love your decorating skills. My kids would be giddy to see these.
ReplyDeleteAnn, the cupcakes look so soft and moist. I love the piping and the decoration too. Did you get the sugar pieces from Sun Lik?
ReplyDelete好漂亮的小蛋糕！我可以只要那个甲虫和蜜蜂吗？真的很可爱。
ReplyDeletei feel cupcake must decorate with frosting then it look perfect like yours, but i'm too lazy to make the frosting, hehehe..
ReplyDeleteThose cupcakes are very pretty. I like the little ladybug too :)
ReplyDeleteThe cupcakes are so cute. Great for kids!
ReplyDeleteI usually can do without the topping. The honey cake will do. Nonetheless, your topping looks gorgeous with the golden crystals and the bee ;p
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning and delicious tasting cupcakes!:)
ReplyDeleteI would love these anytime, not only at parties.
Honey is indeed a very versatile ingredient; not only can it be used in drinks or cooking but also in baking. I am happy to see honey being used in a lot of cakes these days, and I have recently tried Honey Chiffon cake. These honey cupcakes just look so wonderful and I am sure there will be many more honey bakes to come, right? ;)
They do look pretty. Love the coloured sugar!
ReplyDeleteThose cupcakes are very pretty! Great colour.
ReplyDelete@Jo
ReplyDeleteHi Jo, yes I bought it from Sunlik.
@Christy

Cherry Potato, 没问题。。当然可以呀！:D
ReplyDeleteSonia, I also prefer no frosting but this is for the kids.
Tigerfish, so you know how to bake lol! Anyway thanks for your compliment.
Honey cakes, how very delicious. My neighbour keeps bees, so this could be a truly local dish! GG
ReplyDeleteOh Ann, your cupcakes are simply delightful!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing...
Wow, these cupcakes look great, love the cake and the frosting...so cute!
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a wonderful week Ann :-)
This is so cute! I haven't even made one single cupcake... shame? I think so too. I don't think I can even put nice icing on top....hehee. Love the sprinkle. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteCan you believe that I still haven't made any cupcakes... ever? I really need to try and make these sometime.
ReplyDeleteAnn, these are SO lovely!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks GG :) WOW! how I wish my neighbour keeps bees too :D

Hi Ann ,
ReplyDeleteThank you very much. I must learn to excel in this.
Hi Ann
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for the tutorial .
Wow!Your cupcakes are beautiful. I love the added touch of those little buttercream bugs you have, it really gives it something different than a plan iced cupcake. The recipes look delicious - might have some baking to do soon!
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting :)
