Wet Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar (packed)
- 3 eggs
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup sparkling water – plain or peach flavored
- 1 1/2 cups canned peaches (drained and chopped)

- 8 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon peach extract (or vanilla)
- 3 tablespoons sparkling water – plain or peach flavored
Toppings:

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a separate large mixing bowl or mixing bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter for 1-2 minutes until creamy and pale.
- Alternate adding the buttermilk, flour mixture, and seltzer water until all ingredients are just combined.
- Place cupcake liners in cupcake tin. Fill each wrapper 1/3 way. Spoon 1 heaping tablespoon of the peaches on top of batter followed by an additional dollop of cake batter to cover.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops gently bounce back when touched and are slightly browned. Cool completely.
- Make the Frosting:
- Place into a piping bag fitted with a large round or star attachment, frost cupcakes and top with a peach ring.

Sift together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Set aside.
Add the sugars and continue to beat until fully combined. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Lastly, add the honey and vanilla, blend until smooth.
Do not over mix! Over mixing can make the cupcakes tough.
In a medium mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat together the cream cheese and butter. Add the powdered sugar, extract, and seltzer. Blend until creamy and appropriate frosting consistency. If frosting is too thick, add small amounts of peach soda until spreadable.
Notes
- For a more intense peach flavor, consider adding a bit of peach puree to the batter.
- Ensure the cupcakes are completely cooled before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
- Experiment with different frosting decorations for a unique touch.
