I used Good Earth's "Energizing Black Tea" with mate and citrus flavors in place of the coffee in the chocolate part and in the honey portion. For the yellow portion I used milk to give a bit more richness. The smell of this baking was just wonderful, filled the whole house. I cut the recipe in half and got a full 10" pan (took 60 min to bake off), 12 full sized cupcakes and half a pan of mini-cupcakes. I refrigerated the cupcakes while the 10" cake cooked. Mini-cupcakes took 15 minutes to cook through while the full sized ones took 20 minutes, both at 350F. Right out of the oven taste- really good with a wonderful blend of chocolate and honey cake. Will make again! :)
