Ingredients

Units Scale

Cupcake Batter:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup fresh peaches (peeled and finely diced)

Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Prepare the batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, cream the butter, sugar, and honey until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Add the flour mixture and milk alternately, mixing just until combined. Gently fold in the diced peaches.
  3. Bake the cupcakes: Divide the batter among the liners and bake for 18–20 minutes. Cool before frosting.
  4. Make the frosting: Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add honey, vanilla, and powdered sugar gradually until light and fluffy.
  5. Frost the cupcakes: Once cooled, frost the cupcakes generously and garnish as desired.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm peaches to avoid excess moisture.
  • You can use canned or frozen (and thawed) peaches if fresh aren’t available—just drain and pat them dry.
