Description

These Honey Peach Cream Cheese Cupcakes combine the sweetness of ripe peaches, the tanginess of cream cheese frosting, and a delicate honey glaze, making them the perfect summer treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium fresh peaches, peeled and diced (about 1 cup)
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk
  • 8 ounces (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups (240g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Honey, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. Peel and dice 2 medium peaches (about 1 cup) and set them aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream 1/2 cup (115g) of softened butter and 3/4 cup (150g) of sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 eggs, one at a time, then add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups (190g) of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with 1/2 cup (120ml) of milk. Fold in the diced peaches gently.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners and bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let them cool completely.
  8. To make the frosting, beat 8 ounces (225g) of softened cream cheese and 1/4 cup (60g) of softened butter until smooth.
  9. Add 2 cups (240g) of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing until creamy.
  10. Use a piping bag to swirl the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes.
  11. Drizzle honey over the frosting and garnish with a peach slice or a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.

Notes

Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for smoother batter and frosting. If frosting is too soft, chill it for 10-15 minutes before piping. Fresh peaches are best, but canned or frozen (thawed) peaches can be used as substitutes.
