Ingredients

1. Cupcake Batter:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (180g)

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • ½ tsp baking soda

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened (115g)

  • 1 cup granulated sugar (200g)

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • ½ cup sour cream (120g)

  • ¼ cup honey (60ml)

  • ½ cup fresh peaches, finely chopped (about 1 medium peach)

  • 2 tbsp peach juice or nectar (optional, for extra flavor)

2. Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened (225g)

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened (115g)

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 2 cups powdered sugar (240g)

  • 2 tbsp honey (optional, for extra sweetness)

  • Fresh peach slices (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

πŸ”Ή Step 1: Prepare the Cupcake Batter

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.

  2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer.

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

  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  6. Gently fold in the chopped peaches and peach juice (if using) until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

  7. Spoon the batter into the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.

  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

πŸ”Ή Step 2: Make the Cream Cheese Frosting

  1. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.

  2. Add the vanilla extract and honey (if using), and mix until well combined.

  3. Gradually add the powdered sugar, ½ cup at a time, beating until smooth and fluffy. If the frosting is too thick, you can add a small amount of milk to reach your desired consistency.

  4. Beat the frosting for 1-2 more minutes to ensure it’s light and fluffy.

πŸ”Ή Step 3: Frost the Cupcakes

  1. Once the cupcakes are completely cool, use a piping bag or a spatula to frost each cupcake generously with the cream cheese frosting.

  2. Optionally, garnish each cupcake with a fresh peach slice or extra chopped peaches for added flavor and decoration.

πŸ”Ή Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

  1. Allow the frosting to set for a few minutes before serving.

  2. Serve the cupcakes immediately or store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Tips for the Perfect Honey Peach Cream Cheese Cupcakes

  • Peach Tip: Use fresh, ripe peaches for the best flavor. If peaches are out of season, you can substitute with canned peaches (drained) or peach preserves.

  • Honey Flavor: Adjust the amount of honey in the frosting to suit your taste, especially if you want the honey flavor to be more pronounced.

  • Sour Cream: Sour cream keeps the cupcakes moist and adds a slight tanginess. If you prefer a lighter cupcake, you can substitute it with plain yogurt.

  • Peach Juice: If you can’t find peach juice or nectar, you can use a little bit of peach syrup from canned peaches for the same flavor boost.

Calories (estimated)

  • 1 cupcake (with frosting): ~350-400 kcal (depending on the amount of frosting used)

Energy-Saving Tips

  • Make the frosting ahead of time and refrigerate it until you’re ready to frost the cupcakes.

  • If you have a stand mixer, it will save time and energy when making the frosting.

Who Would Enjoy This?

  • Peach lovers who enjoy the delicate flavor of fresh fruit in their desserts.

  • Those who love rich, creamy frosting paired with soft, moist cupcakes.

  • Perfect for family gatherings, birthday parties, or a special treat to enjoy with tea or coffee.
