1/4 tsp salt

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs, (room temperature)

1/2 cup whole milk

Wilton bee icing decorations, (optional)

4 oz. white chocolate, (finely chopped)

1 Tbsp honey

1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature

6 cups confectioners' sugar

1 Tbsp vanilla

1 -2 Tbsp whole milk

步骤

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.

In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt together.

In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, cream together butter and sugar on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.

Add eggs in one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Beat in 1/4 cup honey and vanilla extract.

With mixer on low speed, beat in dry ingredients in 3 additions, alternating with the milk. Mix in each addition until just incorporated.

Line cupcake tin with 12 papers and fill about 3/4 of the way full.

Bake at 350 degrees for 17-20 minutes, until edges are golden and tester comes out clean.

Cool cupcakes in tins for a few minutes before moving to wire racks to cool completely.

Once cooled, core the center of each cupcake (either with a knife or a cupcake corer) and spoon in about a tablespoon of white chocolate honey ganache.

Fit a pastry bag with a 1A pastry tip and fill with vanilla buttercream. Starting at the outside of the cupcake, pipe frosting around, moving toward the center and gently lifting the tip up in the middle.

Drizzle remaining 2 Tbsp honey over the tops of the cupcakes and top with bee decorations, if using.

White Chocolate Honey Ganache

Place finely chopped white chocolate in a medium-sized bowl and add honey to bowl.

In a small saucepan, bring heavy cream just to a boil.

Pour cream over white chocolate and let sit for a minute. Then, stir until chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

Cool completely.

Vanilla Buttercream

In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, beat butter until creamy.

With mixer on low, slowly blend in the powdered sugar, cup by cup until well-combined.

Mix in vanilla and 1 Tbsp milk. If buttercream is too thick, add additional Tbsp milk.
