Ingredients
– 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 3/4 cup granulated sugar
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup sour cream
– 1 cup diced fresh peaches
– 1/4 cup honey, plus more for drizzling
– 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 3 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
1. – Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
2. – In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. – In a large bowl, beat the 1/2 cup butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla and sour cream.
4. – Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Gently fold in the diced peaches and 1/4 cup honey.
5. – Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling them about 3/4 full.
6. – Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. – In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and 1/2 cup butter until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and beat until light and fluffy.
8. – Pipe or spread the cream cheese frosting onto the cooled cupcakes. Drizzle with additional honey just before serving.
Notes
For best results, use ripe, juicy peaches. You can also substitute canned peaches if fresh are not available. The honey adds a lovely sweetness, but you can adjust the amount to your taste preferences.
