Triple Huiji Honey Cupcakes

The Huiji Honey Cupcakes
100g cake flour
100g all-purpose flour
60-80g granulated sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
115g unsalted butter, softened, cut into small cubes
2 eggs
2 tbsp *Huiji Honey
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoons vanilla extract

The Huiji Honey Buttercream
3 egg whites
2 tbsp *Huiji Honey
80 g granulated sugar
200g unsalted butter, softened but cool
1 tsp vanilla extract

Cupcakes Method

1. Preheat the oven to 160ºC. Combine the flours, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl and mix well. 
2. Add the butter and mix on low speed or till it resembles coarse crumbs. 
3. Add one egg at a time, beat and mix well by scraping the bottom of the bowl.
4. Combine and mix the Huiji Honey, milk and vanilla in a small cup/bowl. 
5. Use medium speed beat half of the mixture no. 4 into the batter no. 3 for 2-3 minutes and then add the remaining milk mixture, and beat for another 1 minute.
6. Fill paper liners 2/3 full with batter, and bake for 20 minutes, or until it's cooked. Transfer the cupcakes on the rack and let it cool completely before topping with buttercream.

Buttercream method
1. Place the egg whites and sugar in a mixing bowl. Put it over a pot of simmering water, and stir it continuously, until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is warm. 2. Beat the mixture on high speed till stiff peaks form.
3. Beat in 200g butter into the beaten egg whites. The mixture will be watery, just continue beating and the mixture will become creamy and fluffy. Lastly, mix in the *Huiji Honey and vanilla till well combined.
4. Frost the *Huiji Honey buttercream on the cupcakes and drizzle some *Huiji Honey for an extra honey flavour.
