About

This 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.
