Ingredients
Scale
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup honey
1/2 cup finely diced peaches (fresh or canned, drained)
4 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons honey (for filling)
1/4 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
1 tablespoon honey (for glaze)
1–2 teaspoons milk (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla and 1/4 cup honey.
Alternate adding flour mixture and milk to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the diced peaches gently.
In a separate bowl, mix softened cream cheese with 2 tablespoons honey until smooth.
Spoon cupcake batter into liners, filling halfway. Add 1 teaspoon cream cheese mixture in the center, then top with more batter to cover.
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the cupcake (not the center filling) comes out clean.
Cool cupcakes completely on a wire rack.
Mix powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon honey, and milk to make glaze. Drizzle over cooled cupcakes and serve.
Notes
Use ripe, juicy peaches for best flavor.
Cupcakes can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
Double the cream cheese filling for a richer center.
