Peach Cupcake Recipe

         

I don't know why I've never made peach cupcakes before. Maybe because I was just so obsessed with the peach cobbler that I used to make a lot. Anyway, I want to get really good at decorating cupcakes, so I went online and I went browsing, looking at cupcake recipes on Pinterest. I was looking for really unique cupcake recipes that people would want to buy. Then I came across these peach cupcakes. They aren't really unique, but peach cupcakes sounded really good to me and I never tried them before. So, I thought let me take a chance and try out these cupcakes. And, wow! They are delicious. Little did I know. These cupcakes are so moist and flavorful. And it's crazy because most of the ingredients are so basic. Except for the buttermilk. I think buttermilk really makes cakes moist. And also yogurt. I've never tried yogurt in my cupcakes before but, I've tasted cakes that had their butter substituted for yogurt and it really does make a difference.                                          

                                      

Anyway, i'm getting off subject. For these cupcakes I was meant to put a teaspoon or so of mint extract, but I didn't have that so I just used vanilla extract instead. I can't imagine how mint extract might taste in cupcakes, but it might be good so if you try it then be sure so tell me how you liked it in the comments below. Okay, enough blabbering. Here's the recipe.

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a cupcake tin with wrappers.

2. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl.

3. In a separate bowl, beat together the butter and sugar on medium for 3-4 minutes.

4. Add eggs, beating between each addition. Add lime zest and mint extract.

5. Add dry ingredients, a little at a time, alternating with the buttermilk until thoroughly combined. Do not overmix.

6. Fill liners with batter and drop in diced peaches.

7. Bake for 25 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.

8. For frosting, beat butter until fluffy in a mixing bowl on medium.

9. Add sugar 1 cup at a time, mixing thoroughly.

10. Add juices and coloring. Beat on medium for 2-3 minutes or until fluffy

11. Frost cupcakes and garnish with mint sprigs and peach slices!
