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 buttermilk
  • 1 cup peach preserves
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1/2 cup diced fresh peaches
  • 2 tablespoons honey for drizzle
  • Sugar crystals for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  • Prepare 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 butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add eggs and vanilla: Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Combine wet and dry ingredients: Alternately add the flour mixture and buttermilk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
  • Fill cupcake liners: Fill each cupcake liner halfway with batter, add a spoonful of peach preserves, and then cover with more batter until the liners are three-quarters full.
  • Bake: Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely.
  • Prepare frosting: In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth and creamy.
  • Frost and garnish: Frost the cooled cupcakes with the cream cheese mixture. Top with diced fresh peaches. Drizzle the honey over the top and sprinkle with sugar crystals.

Notes

  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your butter, eggs, and cream cheese are at room temperature to ensure smooth mixing and a better texture.
  • Don’t Overmix: Mix the batter until just combined to avoid dense cupcakes.
  • Fresh Peaches: Use ripe, fresh peaches for the best flavor. If peaches are out of season, canned or frozen peaches work as well.
