Ingredients

Frosting

  • ½ cup butter, room temperature
  • 3 cups confectioners' sugar, or more as needed
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons milk, or as needed
  • 1 tablespoon honey, for drizzling

Cake

  • 1 (16.5 ounce) package white cake mix
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 large egg whites
  • ¼ cup oil
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon, divided
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon lemon extract
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar

Directions

Step 1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line 18 muffin cups with paper liners.

Step 2
Mix cake mix, water, egg whites, oil, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, vanilla extract, and lemon extract together in the bowl of a stand mixer; mix on low for 30 seconds. Increase speed to medium and mix batter for 2 minutes. Fill muffin cups 2/3-full with batter.

Step 3
Combine white sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon together in a small bowl; sprinkle over batter.

Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in a cupcake comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Cool cupcakes to room temperature.

Step 5
Beat butter in a bowl using an electric mixer until creamy and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add confectioners' sugar, 3 tablespoons honey, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon; beat until just combined. Mix milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, into creamed butter mixture until desired consistency of frosting is reached. Spoon frosting into a piping bag or a plastic bag with a snipped corner; pipe onto each cupcake. Drizzle honey over each frosted cupcake.

Cook’s Note:

Substitute cream for the milk if desired.
