Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a 12-hole muffin tin with cupcake liners or lightly grease them.
- In a medium bowl, combine the self-raising flour and baking powder. Whisk to ensure they are evenly mixed. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs and beat them lightly.
- Add the vanilla extract, buttermilk, and coconut oil. Mix until thoroughly combined.
- Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet mixture. Stir gently with a spatula or a wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix the batter, as this can result in dense cupcakes.
- Divide the cupcake batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners. Fill each liner about 2/3 full to allow room for the cupcakes to rise.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.
- Once done, remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer the cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add honey to taste if you prefer a sweeter frosting. Mix until well combined.
- Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, frost them with the cream cheese mixture. You can either pipe the frosting on using a piping bag or spread it on with a knife.
- Enjoy your Vanilla Honey Cupcakes immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
