Ingredients
  

For the Cupcake Batter
  • 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour Can substitute with cake flour for lighter texture.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar Coconut sugar can offer a richer flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Honey Agave syrup can be used for a vegan alternative.
  • 2 tablespoons Dried Culinary Lavender Use sparingly as it's quite potent.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter Coconut oil works for a dairy-free option.
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder Ensure it's fresh for optimal results.
  • 1/2 cup Milk Any non-dairy milk is a great vegan substitute.
For the Frosting
  • 2 cups Powdered Sugar Sift before use for the best consistency.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract A pinch of salt can balance the sweetness.

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a standard cupcake pan with paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well. Then stir in honey and vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, dried culinary lavender, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk, mixing just until combined.
  6. Fill the cupcake liners about 2/3 full and bake for 18-20 minutes, checking with a toothpick for doneness.
  7. Cool the cupcakes in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Prepare the frosting by beating softened butter, then gradually adding powdered sugar, and mixing in honey and vanilla.
  9. Once the cupcakes are cool, frost each generously and garnish with a sprinkle of dried lavender.
