  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Beat Butter And Sugar: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add Eggs And Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Alternately add the flour mixture and buttermilk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the flour. Mix until just combined.
  6. Fill Liners: Fill the cupcake liners halfway with batter, add a spoonful of peach preserves in the center, and then cover with more batter until each liner is three-quarters full.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely.
  8. Prepare Frosting: For the frosting, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth and creamy.
