About the bake
These banana, honey and cinnamon cupcakes are simply divine. They are a combination of soft, moist banana bread sweetened with unrefined sugar and honey with a hint of warm spice from the cinnamon.
Method
Step 1:
Preheat your oven to 160°C (140°C, gas mark 4) and line a cupcake tin with 12 cupcake cases.
Step 2:
Cream together the butter and sugars until pale and fluffy then add the eggs one at a time beating after each one.
Step 3:
In a bowl mash the bananas with the milk, vanilla extract and honey and add this to the butter sugar mixture, beating until just combined.
Step 4:
Sieve in the flour and cinnamon and gently fold in until smooth.
Step 5:
Spoon the batter into the cupcake cases until they are 2/3 full, then place in the oven for about 20 minutes until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool before transferring onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 6:
To make the frosting, beat together the honey, butter and cinnamon until light, then slowly add the icing sugar beating until light and fluffy. Spoon into a piping bag and pipe onto the cooled cakes. Finish with a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
