How to Make Lavender And Honey Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with baking cups.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  5. Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full.
  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the frosting: In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth.
  9. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until light and fluffy.
  10. Stir in the honey, lavender extract, and food coloring until desired color is achieved. Gently fold in half of the dried lavender flowers.
  11. Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them generously with the lavender honey frosting.
  12. Garnish with the remaining dried lavender flowers.
