Preparation

  2. In a large bowl, mix the butter and sugar until creamy.
  3. Add the eggs, honey, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
  4. Gradually fold in the flour, baking powder, and salt until everything is smooth.
  5. Gently stir in the diced peaches.
  6. Spoon the batter into the cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
Baking
  1. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Topping
  1. While the cupcakes cool, beat the cream cheese, sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla extract in another bowl until fluffy and smooth.
  2. Once the cupcakes are cool, add the cheesecake mixture on top.
  3. Top with peach slices, a drizzle of honey, and a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers.

Notes

For an extra fluffy texture, ensure your butter is at room temperature. These cupcakes keep well in the fridge for about 3-4 days. You can also prepare and freeze the cupcake base ahead of time for convenience.
