in a bowl cream the sugar and butter until pale, then add the eggs and combine one at a time, then add the cream, honey and vanilla extract.
mix together the flour and baking soda/ salt and sift into the mixture, then mix to combine.
line a muffin tin with cake cases and fill them with the batter 3/4 to the top.
bake for 15 20 minutes until golden.

for the icing
200g mascapone
50g trex or butter
300g confectioners sugar

you can pipe it on or use a spatula, then drizzle honey over the top.

These look stunning! I love light and aromatic cupcakes which don't use the usual flavor combinations. Beautiful photos as always.

Ooh I love the look of these and I've just found elderflower cordial at Ikea! A quick question, how many tbs of honey? There is no number on the ingredient list! Thank you 🙂

These look amazing I'm thinking of making them but have a question… the list of ingredients calls for 1 tablespoon of baking powder, however the instructions say to mix flour and baking soda. Which is it?
Thank you!!
