  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • ½ cup butter (softened)
  • 3 cups powdered sugar

  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  3. In another bowl, beat butter, honey, and sugar until fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla.
  5. Stir in sour cream gently.
  6. Fold dry ingredients into wet mixture just until combined.
  7. Toss peaches with a tablespoon of flour and fold into batter.
  8. Fill cupcake liners about 2/3 full and bake for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Cool cupcakes completely before frosting.
  10. For frosting, beat softened cream cheese and butter until fluffy.
  11. Gradually add powdered sugar, then mix in honey and vanilla.

Notes

Toss diced peaches with flour to keep them from sinking. For extra flair, add chopped pecans or a splash of bourbon to the frosting. Frosted cupcakes can be stored in the fridge for 3–4 days.
