Description

Soft, fluffy cupcakes bursting with the sweetness of ripe peaches, tangy cream cheese, and a touch of honey. Perfect for summer picnics, barbecues, or a simple indulgence at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk
  • 1 cup (150g) diced fresh peaches
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2–3 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (250g) powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tsp of baking powder, and 1/2 tsp of baking soda. Set aside.
  3. In a larger bowl, beat 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup of brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Mix in 2 large eggs, one at a time, followed by 2 tbsp of honey and 1 tsp of vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with 1/2 cup of milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in 1 cup of diced fresh peaches.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  9. For the frosting, beat 8 oz of cream cheese, 1/4 cup of softened butter, 2-3 tbsp of honey, and 1 tsp of vanilla extract until smooth.
  10. Gradually add 2 cups of powdered sugar and mix until fluffy.
  11. Once the cupcakes are cool, pipe or spread the frosting on top. Garnish with thin peach slices or a drizzle of honey if desired.

Notes

For best results, use fresh peaches during peach season. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smoother batter. Avoid overmixing to keep the cupcakes light and fluffy.
