Ingredients
  

For the cupcake base:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup whole milk

For the cheesecake filling:

8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 large egg

For the peach topping:

1 cup fresh peaches, peeled and diced

2 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For garnish:

Whipped cream (optional)

Fresh mint leaves (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners to ensure easy removal after baking.

    Make the Cupcake Base: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined. In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing until fully incorporated. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients alternately with the whole milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.

      Fill the Muffin Tin: Evenly distribute the cupcake batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each one about halfway to allow room for rising.

        Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In another mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add in the honey, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and egg, then mix until all ingredients are well blended and creamy.

          Assemble the Cupcakes: Using a spoon, carefully add a generous heaping tablespoon of cheesecake filling into the center of each cupcake batter, ensuring the filling is nestled into the batter but does not overflow.

            Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. The cupcakes are done when the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the cake portion comes out clean. The cheesecake filling may jiggle slightly, but it will firm up as the cupcakes cool.

              Make the Peach Topping: In a small bowl, combine the diced peaches with honey, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon. Toss the mixture gently until the peach pieces are evenly coated with the honey and spices.

                Cool and Top: Allow the cupcakes to cool completely in the muffin tin. Once they’re cool, gently remove them and place them on a serving platter. Top each cupcake generously with the prepared peach topping.

                  Serve: For a delightful finishing touch, you may swirl some whipped cream on top of each cupcake and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.

                      Presentation Tips: Arrange the cupcakes on a decorative platter, and consider adding slices of fresh peach or a sprinkle of cinnamon around them for an elegant look. Enjoy your sweet treat!
