Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup fresh or canned peaches chopped and drained
  • 2 tablespoons honey divided
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 6 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar for filling
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for filling

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  • In a small bowl, combine the chopped peaches and 1 tablespoon of honey. Set aside to marinate while you prepare the batter.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream butter and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture in three parts, alternating with sour cream and milk. Begin and end with dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.
  • Gently fold in the peaches and any juices from the bowl using a rubber spatula.
  • In a separate small bowl, combine cream cheese, 3 tablespoons sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for the filling until smooth.
  • Spoon about 1 tablespoon of cupcake batter into each liner, then add 1 teaspoon of cream cheese filling to the center. Top with another tablespoon of batter to cover.
  • Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the edge comes out clean. The centers may remain slightly soft. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Once cooled, drizzle each cupcake with the remaining honey before serving.
