Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup finely chopped fresh or canned peaches, drained
  • For the Frosting:
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For Garnish (Optional):
  • Fresh peach slices
  • Honey drizzle

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the chopped peaches.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. While the cupcakes cool, prepare the frosting. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth.
  10. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until well combined. Stir in the honey and vanilla extract until the frosting is smooth and creamy.
  11. Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them generously with the honey cream cheese frosting.
  12. Garnish with fresh peach slices or a drizzle of honey, if desired.

Notes

  • For bakery-style domes, you can slightly overfill your cupcake liners and bake at a slightly higher temperature for the first few minutes, then reduce the temperature to finish baking.
  • Ensure your butter and cream cheese are at room temperature for the smoothest frosting.
  • If using canned peaches, drain them very well to avoid excess moisture in the batter.
