Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer or stand mixer
  • Cupcake tin
  • Cupcake liners
  • Ice cream scoop or spoon
  • Piping bag (optional, for frosting)

Ingredients
  

  • For the Cupcakes:
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh peaches or canned, drained and chopped
  • For the Cream Cheese Frosting:
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Fresh peach slices for garnish optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven:
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  • Prepare the Cupcake Batter:
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter, honey, and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with sour cream, until combined. Gently fold in the chopped peaches.
  • Fill the Cupcake Tin:
  • Spoon the batter evenly into the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely in the tin before transferring them to a wire rack.
  • Make the Cream Cheese Frosting:
  • Beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until smooth and creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, honey, and salt, mixing until the frosting is light and fluffy.
  • Frost the Cupcakes:
  • Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost them with the cream cheese frosting using a piping bag or a spatula. Optionally, garnish with fresh peach slices for an extra touch of color and flavor.
