Instructions
Creating these incredible Honey Peach Cream Cheese Cupcakes is an enjoyable experience. Follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a standard muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until combined.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
6. Fold in Peaches: Gently fold in the diced peaches until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7. Add Honey: Drizzle the honey into the batter and mix until just incorporated.
8. Fill Cupcake Liners: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about ¾ full.
9. Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Cool: Once baked, remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
11. Prepare Frosting: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and a tablespoon of milk (if using), mixing until creamy and well-combined.
12. Frost the Cupcakes: Once the cupcakes are completely cool, pipe or spread the cream cheese frosting generously on top.
