Description

Hello there, lovely bakers! Are you ready to indulge in a delightful treat that’s perfect for any occasion? Today, we’re making Honey Peach Cream Cheese Cupcakes—a sweet, fruity delight that combines the luscious flavors of peaches and cream cheese with the comforting taste of homemade cupcakes. Let’s get baking!

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

Optional Substitutions:

  • Gluten-Free Option: Substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
  • Vegan Option: Use a plant-based butter and cream cheese alternative, replace eggs with flax eggs, and use almond milk instead of buttermilk.

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.

Step 2: Prepare Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3: Cream Butter and Sugar

In a large bowl, beat the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 4: Add Eggs and Vanilla

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5: 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.

Step 6: 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.

Step 7: Bake

Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely.

Step 8: Prepare Frosting

In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth and creamy.

Step 9: 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.

Equipment

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.
