Delicious Honey Peach Cream Cheese Cupcakes topped with a creamy honey frosting.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 cup diced fresh peaches (about 2 medium peaches)
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the sour cream, starting and ending with the flour mixture.
- Gently fold in the diced peaches.
- Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a small bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, honey, lemon juice, and cinnamon until smooth and creamy.
- Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them with the cream cheese mixture.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 days.
Notes
- For added texture, consider folding in some chopped nuts, such as pecans or walnuts, into the batter.
- Substitute the fresh peaches with other fruits like strawberries or blueberries for a different flavor profile.
