Print Recipe

Soft, moist cupcakes infused with honey and fresh peaches, topped with a rich honey cream cheese frosting for a sweet and luscious treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup honey
  • 1 cup fresh peaches, finely chopped
  • For the Frosting: 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Peach slices, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, beat softened butter, cream cheese, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Mix in vanilla extract and honey until smooth.
  3. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Gently fold in chopped peaches. Fill liners ¾ full and bake 18-22 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
  4. For frosting: Beat softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, then honey and vanilla extract, mixing until fluffy. Frost cooled cupcakes and garnish with peach slices.

Notes

Use ripe fresh peaches for the best flavor and moisture. Ensure cupcakes are fully cooled before frosting to prevent melting. For extra peach flavor, add 1-2 tablespoons peach puree to the frosting.
