Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by lining it with cupcake liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tsp of baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat together ½ cup of honey, ½ cup of softened butter, and ½ cup of sugar until creamy and light.
  4. Incorporate 2 large eggs and mix in 1 tsp of vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with ½ cup of milk.
  6. Gently fold in 1 cup of diced fresh peaches into the batter.
  7. Evenly divide the batter among the prepared liners, filling them about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Allow them to cool completely in the pan.
  10. In a mixing bowl, beat together 8 oz of cream cheese and ¼ cup of butter until smooth. Gradually add in ¼ cup of honey, 1 tsp of vanilla, and 2 cups of powdered sugar.
  11. Frost each cupcake with the cream cheese mixture once they are completely cooled.
