  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, fully incorporating each before adding the next.
  4. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
  7. Spoon the batter into cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
Making the Swirl
  1. In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with honey until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add a spoonful of the honey cream cheese mixture to each cupcake and swirl gently.
Baking
  1. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  2. Let the cupcakes cool completely before garnishing with diced fresh peach.

Notes

For best results, ensure the butter and cream cheese are properly softened. Use a light hand when swirling to achieve pretty marbling. Store the cupcakes covered in the refrigerator and add the peach garnish just before serving.
