Ingredients
  

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

¼ tsp salt

½ cup unsalted butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

½ cup sour cream

1 cup fresh peaches, peeled and diced

½ cup cream cheese, softened

⅓ cup honey

1 tsp cinnamon

Optional: additional diced peaches for topping

Instructions
 

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

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

      Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 3-4 minutes).

        Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract.

          Incorporate Sour Cream: Mix in the sour cream until combined. Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.

            Fold in Peaches: Gently fold in the diced peaches, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

              Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a small bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, honey, and cinnamon until smooth.

                Fill the Cupcake Liners: Pour about 2 tbsp of the cupcake batter into each lined cupcake slot. Add a dollop of the cream cheese mixture in the center (about 1 tsp), and then cover with another tablespoon of batter on top.

                  Bake the Cupcakes: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                    Cool the Cupcakes: Once baked, remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                      Optional Topping: For added sweetness, top each cupcake with a small amount of diced peaches mixed with a drizzle of honey before serving.

                        Serve: Enjoy these delicious Honey Peach Cream Cheese Cupcakes with a cup of tea or coffee for a delightful treat!
