Making the Cupcakes

  2. Cream softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar using an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in honey and vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, dried lavender, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with a splash of milk until just combined.
  6. Fill each cupcake liner two-thirds full and bake for 18-20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Preparing the Frosting
