Greek Honey Walnut Cupcakes
A Greek-inspired cupcake built on the flavours of karydopyra and baklava, these are moist, cinnamon-spiced walnut cakes soaked in warm honey the moment they leave the oven. Greek yogurt keeps the crumb tender and faintly tangy, while a scatter of fresh walnuts on top adds crunch against the sticky honey glaze.

Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan) and line 2 holes of a 6-hole muffin tin with paper cases, filling the remaining 4 holes halfway with water.
2
Sift the 45g flour, baking powder and cinnamon into a bowl and stir in the 20g finely chopped walnuts.
3
In a separate bowl whisk the 28g beaten egg with the 30g honey and 15g sugar until pale, then whisk in the 20g vegetable oil, 20g Greek yogurt, orange zest and vanilla extract until smooth.
4
Fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients with a spatula just until no streaks of flour remain; do not overmix.
5
Divide the batter evenly between the 2 lined holes and bake for 18-20 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean and the tops spring back.
6
Remove the cupcakes from the tin and set on a wire rack; while still warm, spoon the 15g warmed honey evenly over the tops so it soaks in.
7
Once the honey has absorbed and the cupcakes have cooled slightly, scatter the 8g chopped walnuts over the tops to finish.
