Step 1

Preheat an oven to 180c (350f) and prepare cupcake tins with cupcake liners.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, add the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Mix with a whisk until combined.

Step 3

In a separate large mixing bowl, add the eggs, oil, vanilla extract, honey, and mix well with a whisk. Add the hot tea into the wet mixture and mix until combined.

Step 4

Pour the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients mixture and carefully mix until just combined. (don't overmix!)

Step 5

Divide the batter into the cupcake tins and bake in a 180c (350f) preheated oven for about 18-23 minutes (depending on your oven) or until a toothpick is inserted into the cake comes out clean.

Step 6

Let the cupcakes cool to room temperature and remove them from the pans.

Step 7

Drizzle honey on top of the cupcakes right when it comes out of the oven. Smooth it out with a spoon.

Step 8

Into a big mixing bowl, add the heavy cream, vanilla extract, and powder sugar. Mix with an electric hand mixer until stiff peaks form.

Step 9

For decoration, we top these cupcakes with freshly made whipped cream and a drizzle of honey.
