Delicious Chamomile Cupcakes with Honey Buttercream Bliss

Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup hot water
  • 2 bags chamomile tea
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (for frosting)
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 3 ½ cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • chamomile flowers (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Begin by steeping the chamomile tea bags in ½ cup of hot water for about 5 minutes. Once your tea is fragrant, remove the bags and allow it to cool.
  2. Get your oven ready by preheating it to 350°F (175°C). Don’t forget to line a cupcake pan with your favorite liners!
  3. In a bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon of kosher salt.
  4. In a separate mixing bowl, cream together ½ cup of softened unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Add 2 large eggs, one at a time, to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the cooled chamomile tea.
  7. Carefully fill the cupcake liners about two-thirds full with the batter.
  8. Place the cupcake pan in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow them to cool completely before frosting.
  9. For the honey buttercream frosting, in a bowl, beat together 1 cup of softened unsalted butter and ¼ cup of honey until creamy and smooth.
  10. Gradually mix in 3 ½ cups of powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of cold heavy cream, beating until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  11. Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, generously frost each with the honey buttercream.
  12. For a finishing touch, garnish with chamomile flowers if desired.

Notes

  • Store cupcakes in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Use fresh chamomile flowers for decoration for a rustic look.
