Soft and fluffy peach cupcakes made with fresh chopped peaches and peach puree, topped with a creamy cream cheese frosting for a light and fruity dessert perfect for summer gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup fresh peaches, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup peach puree
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with milk, mixing gently until a smooth batter forms.
  6. Fold the chopped peaches and peach puree into the batter until evenly distributed.
  7. Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with batter.
  8. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.
  10. Prepare the frosting by beating cream cheese, powdered sugar, and heavy cream together until smooth and creamy.
  11. Spread or pipe the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes and serve.

Notes

  • Drain canned or thawed frozen peaches well before adding them to the batter.
  • A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg can add a warm spice note.
  • Top cupcakes with fresh peach slices for a decorative finish.
  • Whipped cream frosting can be used instead of cream cheese frosting for a lighter topping.
  • Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the cupcakes soft and fluffy.
