  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 12 cupcakes 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 ripe peach (peeled and finely diced)
  • Optional: extra peach slices or honey drizzle for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
  5. Mix in the sour cream (or Greek yogurt) and milk until just combined.
  6. Slowly add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until smooth—do not overmix.
  7. In a small bowl, mix cream cheese and honey until smooth, then fold in the diced peach.
  8. Spoon cupcake batter into liners about ⅔ full. Add 1 tsp of the cream cheese mixture to the center and swirl gently with a toothpick.
  9. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean from the cake portion.
  10. Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Optional: Drizzle with honey or top with thin peach slices before serving.

Notes

Store cupcakes in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Let them come to room temperature before serving for best flavor and texture.
