Honey Peach Cream Cheese Cupcakes 😍🧁
Ingredients:
For the cupcakes:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup honey
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup whole milk
1 cup fresh peaches, finely diced
For the cream cheese frosting:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3 cups powdered sugar
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For garnish:
Sliced fresh peaches
Drizzle of honey
Directions:
Make the cupcakes:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, sugar, and honey until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Gently fold in the diced peaches. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.
Make the cream cheese frosting:
8. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing until fully combined. Stir in the honey and vanilla extract.
Assemble the cupcakes:
9. Pipe or spread the cream cheese frosting onto the cooled cupcakes. Garnish with a slice of peach and a drizzle of honey.
