Ingredients
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup honey
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup ripe peaches, finely chopped
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
Beat the softened butter and honey in a separate large bowl until creamy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, then fold in the chopped peaches until combined.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Beat the softened cream cheese and butter in a bowl until smooth for the frosting. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until fluffy.
Frost the cooled cupcakes generously with the cream cheese frosting.
Notes
Use ripe peaches for best flavor; consider adding peach jam for a more intense taste.
