Honey cupcakes (with added honeycomb!)

Posted on August 11, 2011April 19, 2018 by jenny

It’s a shame I can’t use the excuse of pregnancy but I have a sweet tooth. Yesterday I whipped up a batch of honey cupcakes and added some honeycomb for some extra crunch.

They taste delicious so if you fancy trying them yourself here’s the recipe.

 

Ingredients:

  • 115g butter
  • 115g caster sugar
  • 115g self-raising flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp honeycomb pieces

Icing:

  • 20g butter
  • 150g icing sugar
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp vanilla essence

 

Method:

Heat the oven to 170 degrees (if using a fan oven) and place your cake wrappers in a cake tin.

Beat the sugar and butter and add the flour, then add the eggs and vanilla essence. Add a good handful of honeycomb pieces or break up a Crunchie if feeling truly decadent. Place a good dollop of the mixture into each cake case and bake for 15 minutes.

When the cakes are baked, remove from the cake tin and leave to cool down.

Mix the icing and decorate the cakes, adding more honeycomb pieces to the top.

 

Only share if your husband discovers your secret cupcake hiding place….

    Ooh, someone suggested a while back that I should make some crunchie/honeycomb cakes for them, I’m inspired now! 🙂

    What a good idea to add a crunchie on top. Don’t think you need to be pregnant to enjoy them!
