  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 12 cupcakes

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
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup honey (for the honey peach flavor)
  • 2 ripe peaches, peeled and pureed
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Fresh peach slices and honey drizzle for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a cupcake tin with paper liners.
  2. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
  3. Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla. Mix in sour cream, honey, and peach puree.
  4. Gradually fold in dry ingredients until just combined.
  5. Divide batter among liners, filling about two-thirds full. Bake 18-20 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Cool cupcakes in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and lemon juice until smooth. Chill if necessary.
  8. Pipe or spread frosting on cooled cupcakes. Garnish with peach slices and honey drizzle. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Use ripe peaches for maximum sweetness and flavor.
  • Ensure cream cheese is softened for easy mixing and smooth frosting.
  • Chill cupcakes before frosting for cleaner presentation.
  • Adjust honey and sugar levels to taste for sweetness.
