  • Total Time: 40-45 minutes
  • Yield: 12 cupcakes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup fresh peaches, peeled and chopped
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (optional, for frosting)
  • Additional sliced peaches and honey for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper cupcake liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.
  5. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and sour cream to the wet mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the chopped peaches.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool completely on a wire rack.
  9. For the frosting, beat the softened cream cheese with honey until smooth. Add powdered sugar if desired for extra sweetness.
  10. Spread or pipe the honey cream cheese frosting onto cooled cupcakes. Garnish with sliced fresh peaches or a drizzle of honey.

Notes

  • Ensure peaches are peeled and chopped uniformly for even distribution.
  • Use room temperature cream cheese for smoother frosting.
  • For a more decorative presentation, top cupcakes with additional peach slices and a drizzle of honey.
  • These cupcakes are best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
