Instructions
Preparation
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
Step 2: Prepare the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3: Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the honey, eggs, and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk to the wet mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Stir in the diced peaches gently.
Step 5: Bake the Cupcakes
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about ¾ full. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before frosting.
Step 6: Prepare the Frosting
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, then mix in the honey, peach purée, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until light and fluffy.
Step 7: Frost and Serve
Frost the cooled cupcakes using a piping bag or a spatula. Garnish with peach slices, honey drizzle, or edible flowers for a decorative touch. Serve and enjoy!
