Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup sour cream

1/2 cup finely chopped fresh peaches

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup honey

1 teaspoon lemon juice

Fresh peach slices (for garnish)

Whipped cream (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

      Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).

        Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

          Incorporate Sour Cream: Add the sour cream to the butter mixture and mix until smooth.

            Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

              Add Peaches: Gently fold in the chopped fresh peaches until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

                Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

                  Bake: Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Prepare Honey Cream Cheese Frosting: While the cupcakes cool, in a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, honey, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.

                      Frost the Cupcakes: Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, use a piping bag or knife to frost the tops with the honey cream cheese frosting.

                        Garnish: Top each cupcake with a fresh slice of peach for an elegant touch.

                          Serve: Enjoy your delightful Honey Peach Cream Cheese Cupcakes as a sweet treat any day or on special occasions!
