    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.

      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!!
