Peach Cupcakes

These soft peach cupcakes are filled with gooey peach jam and topped with peaches and cream. Way easier than a cobbler and just as crave-worthy for summer!

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line the cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
  • Whisk together the butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined.
    step 3b peach cupcakes
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the cake flour, baking powder, and salt until fully incorporated.
  • Stir half of the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Add the milk, then stir in the remaining flour mixture.
  • Mix the cupcake batter until smooth and evenly combined.
    step 6 peach cupcakes
  • Pour the batter into each cupcake liner, filling them about halfway full.
    step 7 peach cupcakes
  • Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
    step 8 peach cupcakes
  • After baking, leave the cupcakes in the pan for a few minutes. Then, place them on a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
  • Use a cupcake corer to remove the center of each cupcake, then fill the hollow with peach jam.
    step 10 peach cupcakes
  • Beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, then transfer it into a piping bag.
  • Pipe swirls of whipped cream onto each cooled peach cupcake.
  • Top each cupcake with a peach slice to finish.

Notes

  • Don't cut all the way to the bottom when removing the cupcake centers, or the peach cupcakes might fall apart. A cupcake corer will help you get the centers out smoothly.
  • Add complexity to these luscious peaches and cream cupcakes with nutty, toasty brown butter! Just melt your butter in a light-colored pan over medium heat, stirring frequently. It should turn golden brown after 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Store leftover fresh peach cupcakes in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. We’re not sure how they hold up in the freezer.
