Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake tray with paper liners.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs and vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Incorporate wet ingredients: Mix in the sour cream and peach puree until just combined.
- Add dry ingredients gradually: Slowly fold in the dry mixture until the batter is just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fill cupcake liners: Spoon the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling about two-thirds full.
- Bake: Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Combine ingredients: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
- Add honey: Mix in the honey until well incorporated.
- Gradually add powdered sugar: Beat in the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, until the frosting reaches the desired consistency.
- Frost the cupcakes: Once cooled, generously spread or pipe the honey cream cheese frosting onto each cupcake.
Notes
- Use ripe peaches for the best flavor and texture.
- Ensure your cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the frosting.
- Feel free to experiment with adding a hint of lemon zest to the frosting for extra zest.
- For more intense peach flavor, add a teaspoon of peach extract or flavoring to the batter.
- Decorate with fresh mint leaves or edible flowers for a beautiful presentation.
