INGREDIENTS
Cupcake Batter:
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup honey
½ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup buttermilk
1 cup fresh peaches, peeled and diced
Cream Cheese Filling:
8 oz cream cheese, softened
¼ cup honey
1 tsp vanilla extract
Toppings (Optional):
Fresh peach slices
Drizzle of honey
PREPARATION STEPS
Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling:
In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Make the Cupcake Batter:
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter, honey, and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with buttermilk, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the diced peaches.
Assemble the Cupcakes:
Fill each cupcake liner halfway with batter. Add a spoonful of the cream cheese filling to the center of each, then top with a little more cupcake batter, covering the filling.
Bake:
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake (not the filling) comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and Garnish:
Top with fresh peach slices and drizzle with honey for an extra touch of sweetness before serving!
