Method
 

Cupcake Preparation
  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer for about 3–5 minutes.
  4. Add the eggs to the butter-sugar mixture one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, pour in the milk and vanilla extract, blending on low speed until smooth.
  5. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula. Stir gently until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the diced fresh or well-drained canned peaches to the cupcake batter.
  7. Spoon the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake for 18-20 minutes.
  8. Once baked, allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Prepare your frosting by beating together the cream cheese and honey until smooth. Use a piping bag for an elegant finish.
  10. Frost each cupcake with the cream cheese and honey mixture and drizzle a honey glaze over the frosted cupcakes.
