Honey Chamomile Cupcakes and the Joy the Baker Cookbook!

Today is February 28, 2012.  Today is the day that felt a million years away in 2010 when I started writing the Joy the Baker Cookbook.  Now, February 28th, 2012 is as close as the present… and we’re living in it!

Today the Joy the Baker Cookbook is officially born into the world.  It’s 100 recipes and 100 photos.  We’re talking NEW recipes.  Things you haven’t seen here on Joy the Baker.  Might I humbly suggest you go to the store and stock up on butter and sugar?  You’ll need it.  You’ll love it.

This book is written and shot by me.  Tested and consumed by eager friends and family.  Believed in by agent Alison, editor Leslie, cheerleader Michael.  This book is made by me for YOU YOU YOU!  I know you eat popcorn for dinner.  I know you bake brownies for boys.  I know you’re just looking for an excuse to make biscuits for every meal of the day…. and I love you I love you I love you!!!

I’m going on a humble book tour as well!  I want to meet you!!  I want to sign your book!!  I want to circle pages of recipes you should make!!  And I totally want to come over to bake with you… but that might be difficult.  This book tour is funded by Joy the Baker and Co…. which means it’s funded by me… so please understand that if I can make it to your city, I absolutely will.  And if I can’t… well… I really wanted to.  Thank you for your love and understanding.  Check out the Book Tour stops and get excited!  Let’s meet and high-five and totally hug it out!

I’ll be at Vroman’s in Pasadena tonight (it’s Tuesday today…) at 7pm.  Be there!

If I’m not able to see your smiling face, how about following me on Facebook and on Twitter?  I’ll have all sorts of behind the scenes pictures of me being weird and nervous.  What could go wrong there?

You can best believe I’ll also be podcasting like a maniac over on the Joy the Baker Podcast at Homefries.

I want you to be everywhere I am!  Let’s do it!

Because today is such a wonderfully blessed day, I wanted to share a recipe from the book with you.  These cupcakes are an absolute favorite.

Chamomile Cupcakes with Honey Glaze.  These are delicate and ladylike… even if you eat six of them you’ll still be the picture of feminine grace.  I (sorta) promise.

IMG_3475

Cupcakes!  Soft and delicately flavored.  Reminiscent of late college nights with chamomile tea and one heck of a research paper to write.  I can’t tell if the chamomile is more of a fragrance or taste.  I’m leaning towards fragrance.  That’s what alluring about these little cakes… you’re not sure where you’re experiencing it.  It’s dreamy in that way….

And this, my dearheart friends, is how I’d like to formally introduce you to my book… with dreamy cupcakes, honey glaze, and a huge, humbled THANK YOU. Thank you for your love, support, and presence.

Today (like every single day in this world) is a day full of grace.  I’m glad you’re in it with me.

Chamomile Cupcakes with Honey Glaze

recipe from Joy the Baker Cookbook (whoa…)

Makes 12 cupcakes

Print this Recipe!

For the Cupcakes:

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened

1 cup all-purpose flour

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

pinch of salt

3 tablespoons dried chamomile (I got mine from tea bags)

1/2 cup milk (I used two percent)

1 large egg

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

For the Glaze:

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1 tablespoon honey

about 5 tablespoons heavy cream

pinch of salt

Place a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat oven to 325 degrees F.  Line a cupcake pan with paper or foil liners and set aside.

To make the cakes:  in the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together butter, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, pinch of salt, and chamomile leaves.  Mix on medium speed until the mixture is slightly coarse and sandy.  This takes about 5 minutes.

While the mixture beats, in a small bowl, whisk together milk, egg, and vanilla extract.

Pour half of the milk mixture into the flour mixture.  Beat until just incorporated.  Pour in the remaining milk mixture, turn the mixer up to medium-high speed and beat for 1 minutes, until well blended.

Divide the batter between the prepared cups.  There isn’t a lot of batter so you’ll only fill the cups up half way.  You’ll also need to scrape the bowl for remaining batter.  This recipe doesn’t waste a drop.

Bake the cupcakes for 17 to 20 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.  Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes.  Remove the cupcakes from the pan to cool completely before frosting.

To make the glaze: in a medium bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, honey, cream, and salt.  Whisk until smooth.  Use a butter knife to generously spread the frosting atop the cooled cupcakes.  Sprinkle with just a bit of chamomile tea leaves and arrange on a pretty plate.  Cakes will last, well wrapped, at room temperature for up to three days.

    I don’t know where I’ve been but I just found your blog a few days ago and have been baking up a storm. These are my new favorite cupcakes! And for anyone else out there who is obsessed with honey like me — I added an extra drop of honey on top of the glaze before adding the chamomile. Mmm.

    This is my new favorite cupcake recipe. The first time I ate one all I could say was “JOY THE BAKER IS A GENIUS”. Amazing! I would love to bake with rooibos someday but the flavor isn’t quite as strong or distinct so it probably couldn’t be the main feature like chamomile is here. But maybe I’m wrong! I hope so.

    Okay okay, so it’s 10:30 pm, and I have 11 beautiful honey camomile cupcakes in my cupcake box and 1 in my tummy. These. Are. Amazing. If the bookstores were open at this hour I would’ve gone out to by your cookbook by now (I do hope they carry it here!)

    I’ve always loved your blog, and now I’ve fallen in love with your book.

    Thank you, Joy!

    Much love from the Philippines,
    Nicah.

    P.S. I tweeted a picture of one of the cupcakes pre-devouring and mentioned you in it. :)

    Have you ever tried this with Earl Grey black tea? I usually make Earl Grey frosting but as I was trying this recipe I ran out of chamomile so just used the Earl Grey and it was delicious! I am currently obsessed with your blog and as a young baker I learn so much!

    Thank you and I look forward to getting your book!

    Congratulations!!! This is soooo exciting for you!
    I’m eagerly awaiting my copy to arrive in the UK (end of the month – roll on!!!) and am gutted that I won’t make it to a book signing – a little far to come perhaps!

    Glad to hear you’re such a roaring success (as if we doubted it for a second) and enjoy the rest of your book tour!

    Are you serious? No really…are you serious?

    I saw this recipe on Tuesday morning and died for it all day during work. Made up a batch and it’s beyond amazing. Did you know? Did you know that by putting this up you were going to start an addiction. As in I’m completely and totally addicted…as in I went to my local tea shop and bought 4 oz (may not seem like a lot…but it’s pretty much like 100 cups worth) of chamomile tea so that I don’t have to go without this.

    Really? Joy the Baker…you are a genius.

    Woohoo, congratulations on the book! I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy and start being an awesome Joy the Baker too. And I love the idea of these cupcakes too! I pretty much have a cup or two of chamomile on a daily basis, so why not also a little bit more with a daily cupcake too. Thanks for the recipe!

    Wish I could make it to San Francisco this weekend to meet you, but alas, a 3+ hour drive one-way is not possible. I wish you lots of luck with this venture…don’t be too shy–everyone is there to meet you & enjoy your great personality.

    Help w/ the Honey Chamomile Cupcakes…I made them last night; they were delicious, but the batter overflowed the muffin cups. What size muffin pan did you use? Mine is close to 40 years old. Perhaps yours is larger than mine. Next time I’ll use 2 pans and get more cupcakes. They tasted delightful, but didn’t look pretty after I scraped the overflow off the pan.

    Congratulations Joy!!! I’ve been reading your blog aaaallllll the way from Australia and it never fails to make me smile or have a little giggle everytime I read a new post! It reminds me to not take life so seriously all the time (and most of the time, I really need it!!). As soon as I saw you were bringing out a book I had it pre-ordered and got the email yesterday saying it has been shipped!!! YAY! I am super excited to try out all of your recipes.

    In short, you’re awesome!!! :)

    Hi Joy!
    My Joy the Baker Cookbook arrived at my door yesterday evening. I had pre-ordered through Amazon. I was very excited to receive my copy of your book! I sat up late last night reading through it. You did an awesome job on your cookbook! Love the cover…front and back…and everything in between! Love your dress you are wearing for your photo shoot for the cover. I see so many recipes I would love to try. I think I am going to start with your quiche recipe and go from there. Everything in the book looks delicious! I enjoyed reading some of your little stories at the beginning of each recipe, too. Looking forward to seeing you in Seattle. Looks like you had standing room only for your first book tour signing! Congratulations, Joy!!!! I see more cookbooks in your future! Love ya, Kim xoxo

    My book arrived from Amazon today! I LOVE it!!! Congratulations, Joy!
    I never read the opening pages of a cookbook, I just skip straight to the recipes. But, your book is too good to skip anything. I’ve been reading page by page. I can’t wait to find out what happens next!

    If you find your way out to Boston for touring, I can make sure you have a bed to sleep in (and kitty and doggie) so you won’t need to pay for a hotel.

    A local cupcake shop makes an earl grey tea cupcake every now and then. My cowork loves it and is so disapointed when it’s not in the shop. I’ll have to substitute this cupcke for the one she loves so much and I’m sure she will enjoy it!

    I pre-ordered my book in November – right after you announced it! – and I should be getting next week. Of course, I want it today. I want to look at the photos and drool over the recipes – just like I do over your blog every day. But perhaps the tea-scented cupcakes will do until then. And so sad you are not coming to DC – I do have a guest room though to help out Joy the Baker Co financials if you want to change your mind! And 3 girls who love to wake up guests with breakfast in bed!

    My book should be delivered today and I am so excited! I was planning on saving it for when I’m in the hospital after having my first baby which could be any day or in weeks. Then I realized I am no where strong enough to not look at it the moment I get home! I will just have to find something else to use up time while I am in the hospital. Thanks for doing this and I am really looking forward to seeing it and baking the recipes (or direct someone to bake them for me)!

    Amazon tells me I pre-ordered the cookbook on November 18th. Because I’m spazzy and overly punctual like that. They haven’t shipped it yet but I’m SO SO SO excited!

    Hi Joy!
    I preordered your book about a month ago and finally received a copy last week. I planned on making the raspberry scones ASAP but life with a toddler can be unpredictable sometimes so I only tried the green smoothie and we all loved it! We had people over and one of our guest ordered it right away and left with my book because she “could not wait for hers to arrive”!
    Thank you for so much yummy ways to confort ourselves and show our love and appreciation to the ones we cherish!
    Even if I am sure I gained ten pounds just reading your blog, it has to be the best 10 pounds ever!!!
