Thursday, May 28th, 2009

Summer vacation is almost here and the children are home from school.Here is a great recipe for cupcakes using our Organic O’hia Lehua blossom honey. The bees are now in the O’hia forest and are busy filling their combs with this delightful honey. The following recipe was given to us by our friend Roseann Buritz who not only owned and ran an incredible bakery in Hilo, but she also started and ran a Waldorf preschool in Kona. Roseann knows knows how to please children. This is one of her special creations.

BLACK BOTTOM CUPCAKES

3 c. pastry flour
½ c cocoa
2 t. baking soda
½ t. salt

Mix wet:
1 c. organic O’hia Lehua blossom honey
2/3 c. oil
2 Tbls. vinegar
2 t. vanilla
1 ½ c. water

Mix wet and dry together until just smooth.

Filling:
1 lb. cream cheese
½ c Organic O’hia Lehua honey
2 c. chocolate chips

Spoon batter into cupcake cups to ½ full. Add 1 t. filling. Spoon batter to cover. Bake at 350 degrees until done.

Can be eaten plain or frosted with chocolate frosting.

Can be made to look like “Hostess Cup Cakes” by frosting with ganache and decorating with a squiggle of sweetened cream cheese across the top. Delicious.

Can be made with carob powder, chips and frosting.
Aloha
