Time 35m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2/3 cup honey
1 -1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
4 ounces butter
2/3 cup sugar
2 eggs, separated
2 tablespoons milk
2 cups flour
1 pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375F/190C Grease and flour a muffin tin or use liners.
  • Stir together flour, cinnamon and baking soda.
  • Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Separate the egg yolks from the whites. Beat the yolks into sugar and butter, then add the honey in thirds beating well in between.
  • Stir in the flour with a little milk as required to make the batter a little softer and mix all together gently.
  • Whisk the egg whites until stiff. stir 1/3 of the whites into the batter to lighten the mixture then gently fold in the rest.
  • Half fill the cups of the muffin tin and smooth the tops with the back of a wet teaspoon to stop them from crowning too much then sprinkle each with a little bit of sugar (optional).
  • Bake in the pre-heated oven for about 20 minutes. These do brown quickly and are actually browner than a similar cupcake or muffin would be so keep an eye on them so they don't get too brown.
  • Leave the cakes in the tin for a few minutes before turning out to cool.

I'm going to try making these cakes with different types of honey next time. I think it would be fun to experiment with different flavors.

The cakes didn't rise as much as I expected. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

These cakes were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of honey next time.

I'm not a huge fan of honey, but these cakes were surprisingly delicious. The honey flavor is very subtle.
