Ingredients
- 150 g All-purpose flour
- 2 tsp Baking powder
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 4 large Eggs
- 120 ml Honey
- 90 g Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp Milk
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by lining it with cupcake liners.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes until they are pale and frothy.
Step 4
Slowly pour in the honey while continuing to beat the eggs, ensuring it is fully incorporated.
Step 5
Reduce the mixer speed to low and gradually add the melted butter, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix until combined.
Step 6
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture in two additions, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be smooth and slightly airy.
Step 7
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 3/4 full.
Step 8
Bake the cupcakes in the preheated oven for 13-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
Step 9
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve the honey sponge cupcakes as they are, or decorate with your favorite frosting or a light dusting of powdered sugar.
