For a richer flavor, use brown butter in the frosting. If the frosting is too thick, add a little more milk, one teaspoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached. Store frosted cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For an extra touch, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top of the frosted cupcakes.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Line 18 muffin cups with paper liners. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, water, egg whites, vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon of cinnamon, vanilla extract, and lemon extract. Mix on low speed for 30 seconds, then increase to medium speed and beat for 2 minutes until well combined.
03
StepFill each prepared muffin cup approximately 2/3 full with batter.
04
StepIn a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and the remaining 1 tablespoon of cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the cupcake batter in each cup.
05
StepBake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (18 minutes)
06
StepRemove from oven and let cupcakes cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
07
StepWhile the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the frosting: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
08
StepGradually add the confectioners' sugar, 3 tablespoons of honey, and 0.5 teaspoon of cinnamon to the butter, mixing on low speed until just combined.
09
StepAdd milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the frosting reaches your desired consistency – it should be smooth and easily pipeable.
10
StepOnce the cupcakes are completely cool, transfer the frosting to a piping bag fitted with your desired tip, or use a plastic bag with a corner snipped off.
11
StepPipe the frosting onto each cupcake in a swirl pattern. Finally, drizzle each frosted cupcake with a touch of honey.

Feb 9, 2024My frosting was a bit runny, even after adding the confectioners' sugar. I think I added too much milk.
