# Instructions:
01 -
First things first—preheat that oven to 350°F (175°C), and don’t forget! I’ve definitely stood there wondering why my cupcakes weren’t rising. It’s a rookie mistake, but you won't make it! Grab a muffin tin and line it with cupcake liners. Seriously, they make the cutest little homes!
02 -
In a bowl, whisk together your flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Just a pinch! I always feel fancy doing this, but sometimes I forget the salt and trust me, it shows. Keep it light, and set it aside.
03 -
In another bowl, beat your softened cream cheese and sugar together until fluffy. This step is where it really gets fun! You want it fluffy, but don’t rush; let it get all creamy and dreamy. And oh, the smell is heavenly!
04 -
Crack in those eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, pour in the honey like it’s liquid gold. I always get a little extra excited and end up with honey on my shirt. Oops! This is the part where it turns into a luscious batter.
05 -
Now, slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Don’t rush! Mix just until combined; over-mixing can lead to sad, dense cupcakes. I’ve learned that the hard way too many times. You’ll see those little flour streaks; that’s okay!
06 -
Last but not least, gently fold in those diced peaches. It’s like adding confetti! I always get a bit messy here; peach juice goes everywhere. But that’s just part of the fun! Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with batter, then pop them in the oven!
# Notes:
01 -
Don't skip letting your cream cheese soften; you’ll thank me! Watch out for over-mixing; it’s a sneaky trap! Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting. Trust me, I’ve rushed it and ended up with melted frosting chaos!
