→ Frosting and Toppings
11 -
1/2 cup diced fresh peaches
12 -
2 tablespoons honey for drizzling
13 -
1/4 cup powdered sugar

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

# Instructions:
01 -
Turn the oven on to 350°F (175°C), and line your muffin pan with liners.
02 -
Grab a medium bowl and stir together the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder.
03 -
In a large bowl, mix softened butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in the eggs one by one, then add in the vanilla extract.
04 -
Start by adding the dry mix and buttermilk alternately to the wet ingredients. Finish with the dry mix and stir gently until it’s just combined.
05 -
Spoon batter into liners halfway, put a dollop of peach preserves in each, then cover with more batter. Fill about three-quarters full.
06 -
Put in the oven for 18-20 minutes. They’re done when a toothpick poked in the middle comes out clean. Let them cool all the way.
07 -
Mix together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk until it’s smooth and creamy.
08 -
Spread the frosting on the cooled cupcakes. Sprinkle fresh peach chunks on top, add a honey drizzle, and finish with sugar crystals.
# Notes:
01 -
Room temperature ingredients make the batter smoother.
02 -
Don’t mix too much, or they’ll turn out heavy.
03 -
No fresh peaches? Canned or frozen ones are great substitutes.
