Banana Cupcakes with a Honey Cinnamon Buttercream Frosting

I have been M.I.A. for a few weeks, and I apologize for that, but I have kept up with my cupcake baking. The first cupcakes I made was a banana cake with a honey cinnamon buttercream frosting. Now I was super excited to make this recipe; more specifically, I was pumped to make a flavored frosting.

I actually made these for a party I was hosting, so I decided to double the recipe. Everything was going well, I mean, it was a really simple recipe. I had the perfect amount of ripe bananas, and I didn't end up covered in powdered sugar. So when I put the cupcakes in the oven I was in a fantastic mood because I thought everything was going so smooth. I started to make the frosting while the cupcakes were baking and  then it hit me: I forgot to double the amount of eggs in batter. I was horrified! I was supposed to add 4 eggs and I only added 2. In my mind I was like "Lovely, I just destroyed thirty-two cupcakes." I watched these cupcakes like a hawk for the rest of the bake time. They seemed fine when they were done. So I tasted one and I could not tell you how relieved I felt knowing that these cupcakes were edible. They were actually delicious!

After my small little problem, everything else was smooth sailing. The frosting complimented the cake so well. My cupcakes were big hit at the party and I was a happy camper. It just seems to appear that I can't count! Hahahaha.

Love always,
