Ingredients
Cupcake Batter
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Honey Cream Cheese Swirl
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cups honey
Garnish

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Baking
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Spoon the batter into the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
- In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with the honey until smooth.
- Spoon a small amount of the honey-cream cheese mixture onto each cupcake and gently swirl it in.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Serving
- Cool cupcakes completely before adding diced fresh peach on top.
Notes
Ensure both butter and cream cheese are fully softened to avoid lumps. Cool completely before topping to maintain the fresh peach's texture.
