Ingredients
UnitsScale
Cupcake Batter:
1 1/2cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2cup unsalted butter (softened)
1/2cup granulated sugar
1/4cup honey
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2cup whole milk
1cup fresh peaches (peeled and finely diced)
Cream Cheese Frosting:
8oz cream cheese (softened)
1/4cup unsalted butter (softened)
1/4cup honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2cups powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
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.
Bake the cupcakes: Divide the batter among the liners and bake for 18–20 minutes. Cool before frosting.
Make the frosting: Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add honey, vanilla, and powdered sugar gradually until light and fluffy.
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.
