Step 2
Add an egg to the mixing bowl and break it up with an egg whisk.

Step 4
After adding the honey, stir evenly.

Step 5
Add 70g of salad oil. As usual, do not use strong-flavored oils like peanut oil or olive oil.

Step 12
Add the lemon zest.

After adding the zest, mix well. Actually, personally I think it is better to add the lemon zest together with the flour.

Step 15
First heat the empty barrel for 5 minutes to preheat, then put in the cupcakes. If packed tightly, it can fit 6.

Step 16
These cupcakes are best eaten while hot, but you can also wait until they cool down to decorate before eating. This is after cooling for 8 hours, and there is a certain degree of shrinkage. They are quite soft when hot, so I do not recommend decorating these cupcakes.
