Ingredients

    1-1/2 C all-purpose flour (7-15-13 try to sub King Arthur's gluten free mix PLUS 1-1/2 tsp xanthan gum)1 C unsweetened cocoa powder (NOT Hershey's for Mandy & Erika)2 tsp baking soda
    1 tsp baking powder
    1/2 tsp salt
    1-1/2 C honey
    1/2 C low-fat milk
    1/2 C (8 tbsp) vegetable oil

    2 tsp vanilla extract

    1/2 C honey

Tips

This is great as a cake, but I prefer making 24 cupcakes. This is better for portion control.

Whipping the frosting works best if the bowl is chilled and take about 7 minutes using an electric hand mixer.

This recipe halves well for 12 dozen cupcakes.


Directions

Cake Directions
To prepare cake: Grease and flour two 9-inch cake pans. In large bowl, combine flour, 1 cup cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add 1-1/2 cups honey, milk, oil, eggs and 2 tsp vanilla; beat for 2 minutes. Gradually beat in water. Divide batter between pans. Bake at 350°F for 25 to 30 minutes (cupcakes 20 minutes), or until sides pull away slightly from pan and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes. Turn onto wire racks and cool completely.
Frosting Directions: In medium bowl, combine remaining 1/2 cup cocoa powder, 1/2 cup honey, 1 tsp vanilla and cream. Beat until just thick and fluffy. To assemble, spread frosting evenly over sides and top of one cake layer. Place second cake layer on top. Spread remaining frosting evenly over sides and top.
