Spoon into the muffin tins, or cake pan. For cupcakes, bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. For sheet cake, bake about 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.

Rest for a few minutes, then remove from pan and cool completely on rack.

For the frosting, combine the Neufchatel cheese (at room temperature), honey, and yogurt until smooth. Add enough flour to thicken the frosting to a good spreading consistency. Frost the cake or cupcakes and you're ready for a doggone good party!
