Description

These Honey Peach Cream Cheese Cupcakes are a delightful way to celebrate summer with their fluffy texture and luscious cream cheese frosting infused with sweet peaches. Perfect for gatherings or a simple treat at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup diced fresh peaches
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your cupcake pan with paper liners and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set this aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, add the honey and vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the diced fresh peaches until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  7. Spoon the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
  9. While the cupcakes cool, beat together the cream cheese and softened butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until fluffy. Add heavy cream to reach your desired consistency.
  10. Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them generously with the cream cheese frosting.
  11. Top each cupcake with a slice of fresh peach and a drizzle of honey.
