Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ½ cup buttermilk
• ¼ cup butter, softened
• ¾ cup honey
• 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar (Optional)
• ¾ cup heavy cream
• 1 pint strawberries, sliced

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12 cup muffin pan or line with paper baking cups.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Mix in the honey, eggs, buttermilk and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; stir into the batter just until blended. Spoon the batter into the prepared cups, dividing evenly.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until the tops spring back when lightly pressed, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool in the pan set over a wire rack. When cool, arrange the cupcakes on a serving platter.

Step 4

Whip the heavy cream in a chilled bowl using an electric mixer until stiff enough to hold a peak. Sweeten with confectioners' sugar if desired. Spoon on top of cupcakes and top each one with sliced strawberries right before serving.
