Emma's Vanilla Cake, makes 24 cupcakes.
Ingredients: 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour, 2 cups sugar, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract, 2/3 cup oil (vegetable, canola or peanut), 2 teaspoons distilled white vinegar and 2 cups water. In a large bowl whisk together all the wet ingredients. In a smaller bowl whisk together all the dry ingredients. Add half of the dry ingredients to the wet and whisk until just combined, repeat with the second half. *Note: This batter will be very wet, a pourable liquid. Fill lined cupcake pan with batter so cups are 2/3 full. I find it is easiest to pour the batter from a small pitcher or glass measuring cup instead of spooning it into the pan. Bake in a preheated oven to 350 F. Bake for 22-25 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. This recipes makes very moist cupcakes that can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days before consumed. Although they are best the first day.
The Peanut Butter Icing recipe was posted in Cupcake Mixology. You pipe the peanut butter frosting on the cupcakes in a circle and then fill the center with honey. So Delicious! Enjoy.

Oh my – you really need to stop this, I already have eaten myself through this summer..! 😀
Yum!!! Loving Peanut Butter and Honey this season too!!
Omg I am a sucker for anything with peanut butter these look amazing. Is it wrong that I want to make a batch of the peanut butter frosting & just go at it with a spoon?!

eek I’ve been hoping you;d put this recipe up. Thanks and can’t wait to try it 🙂 Not that my waistline needs anymore cake!
I’m so intrigued by using peanut oil in a cupcake! It would also be so cute to pipe the frosting in hexagons before filling them with honey to make a little hive!
Going to try these!

I would never have paired peanut butter and honey, but could be tempted to try this…

I MUST try this! Yum, yum, YUM!
I think many vegans avoid honey, but maple syrup could be a good alternative. They look delish!
These look amazing! I’ve been trying to eat more healthy food recently but I’m allowing myself a treat now and then and these look perfect.
YUM!!! Love the looks of this recipe. I can’t wait to give it a try!

I love that this recipe is Vegan! Emma, you always have the best recipes. I love it.
Sugar is actually not vegan. It’s processed with bone char. They do have special vegan sugars that aren’t at Whole Foods, etc. Just FYI!
Yummmm!!! I want to try!
xoxo Luisella
I would love to eat one!
This looks absolutely scrumptious! And they’re vegan! Even better 🙂

Q: I think many vegans avoid honey, but maple syrup could be a good alternative.
A: Sorry, to clarify, she was talking about the cupcake… not the icing or the honey.
Q: Sugar is actually not vegan. It’s processed with bone char. They do have special vegan sugars that aren’t at Whole Foods, etc. Just FYI!
A: Ok… We are not vegan and we do not have any information about this so I removed the part saying the recipe was vegan. 🙂 I’ll leave this up to individuals to determine. Thanks.
So cute!! Those cupcakes look delicious.

It’s nice to find a good recipe that does not require eggs. I may give these a shot.

Wow, those look delicious… Definitely going to have to try those out! xx
Yumm, and they’re so simple to make. Quite possibly the beset cupcakes going round.
In a couple of weeks, we’re having a Vintage Tea Party, for charity, in memory of my mum, who passed away last year. I was planning on making some cupcakes, but haven’t really known what recipe to use. I was hoping something would fall into my lap, and it has. This recipe is perfect, and I can’t wait to get baking! Thank you so much for sharing it!
They look positively scrumptious!

It really looks good! I’m always a bit hesitant to try food made with peanut butter because I usually don’t like the taste but I love honey so maybe this combination would work for me!
It might be a little tricky, but I think it’d be so cute to pipe the frosting on in a rough hexagon shape to look like a little honeycomb.
I love cupcakes and these look so … Yummy!

This looks fantastic! I’ve been on a honey kick lately and made this little number this past weekend. I MUST try these cupcakes out.

I tried baking this today…. and it’s pretty good.. but my only problem is that my cupcakes stuck to the paper cups and unless I turn the cupcake inside out… eating it is almost impossible. I even tried oiling the paper before pouring in the second batch of cupcakes. It didn’t work.. which makes me sad because I really wanted to bake this for my friend before he left to Guam. And the cupcake itself tastes really good too. Is it because I used baking powder instead of baking soda? I accounted for the substitution and used more teaspoons of baking powder… I don’t see how this would affect the stickiness of the cupcake though. Or does it? Hmmm……
BTW, I really love your blog. I feel challenged to do new things and try new food… 🙂
i just made these cupcakes and they are soooooo good!! I substituted sunflower seed butter for peanut butter, because i can’t have peanuts. SO DELICIOUS 🙂
P.S. also love the blog!
Just tried this recipe tonight. They are Amazing! I think a new favorite! Thanks for sharing!
