Ingredients

For the Cupcakes:

  • Flour: 1 and 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour, sifted
  • Baking Powder: 1 and 1/2 teaspoons
  • Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
  • Honey: 1/2 cup, preferably raw and unfiltered
  • Butter: 1/2 cup, softened
  • Sugar: 1/2 cup
  • Eggs: 2 large, at room temperature
  • Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon
  • Peaches: 1 cup, finely diced (fresh or canned)
  • Milk: 1/2 cup

For the Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • Cream Cheese: 8 ounces, softened
  • Butter: 1/4 cup, softened
  • Powdered Sugar: 3 cups, sifted
  • Honey: 2 tablespoons
  • Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon
  • Peach Puree: 2 tablespoons (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions

  1. Preparing the Cupcakes Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners. Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. Cream Butter, Sugar, and Honey: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the softened butter, sugar, and honey until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Mix in the vanilla extract. Incorporate the Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients to ensure a smooth batter. Fold in the Peaches: Gently fold in the diced peaches using a spatula. Be careful not to overmix, as this can affect the cupcakes’ texture. Fill the Liners: Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool: Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  2. Making the Cream Cheese Frosting Cream Butter and Cream Cheese: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy. Add Honey and Vanilla: Mix in the honey and vanilla extract until well combined. Incorporate Powdered Sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating on low speed to avoid spillage. Increase the speed to medium-high once incorporated, and beat until the frosting is fluffy. Optional Peach Puree: For extra peach flavor, mix in the peach puree. This will also add a slight tint to the frosting.
