Step-by-Step Instructions

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Cream softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, then add eggs one at a time, followed by honey and vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the dry flour mixture into the wet ingredients, alternating with whole milk, and fold in the diced peaches.
  6. Fill each cupcake liner about halfway with batter, add a teaspoon of cream cheese filling, and top with more batter until two-thirds full.
