Ingredients

For the Cupcakes:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • ¾ cup fresh peaches, finely diced

For the Honey Peach Frosting:

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp peach purée
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

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!
