In a large mixing bowl, mix sugar, flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
Mix in honey until fully combined.
Mix in butter (if you are using an electric mixer, mix on high for about three minutes).
Mix in eggs, sour cream, and vanilla until fully combined.
Mix in nuts.
Fill cupcake liners 3/4 full.
Bake at 350 F for 20 minutes or until cupcakes bounce back when lightly touched.
Topping Directions
Spread a thin layer of honey over cooled cupcakes.
Dip honeyed cupcakes into a small bowl filled with the chopped nuts.
If the nuts don't stick to any part of the cupcake, add more honey and spoon nuts onto the cupcake until the whole top surface of the cupcake is covered in nuts.
