Peach Cupcakes Recipes

Steps:

• Combine pureed peaches and sugar for filling in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a slight boil.
• Mix cornstarch and water together in a separate bowl until there are no lumps. Stir mixture into the pan. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until thick and bubbly, about 1 minute. Let filling cool completely.
• While filling cools, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl for cupcakes.
• Beat sugar and butter together in a large bowl using an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in eggs, vanilla extract, and peach extract until smooth. Add 1/2 of the flour mixture and stir until combined. Add buttermilk and 1/2 cup pureed peaches; stir until almost combined. Add remaining flour mixture and stir until all ingredients are mixed in.
• Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 2/3 full.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, 18 to 20 minutes. Cool in the tins for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool, about 20 minutes.
• Remove a bit of the center of each cupcake using a cupcake corer; fill with cooled peach filling.
• Beat whipping cream, pudding mix, and vanilla extract for frosting together using a wire whisk attachment until firm peaks form. Frost cooled cupcakes.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, nutmeg and salt.
• In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together sugar and butter until well combined. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition until light and fluffly. Add vanilla and orange zest, beating well. Alternately beat in flour mixture and milk, making three additions of flour mixture and two of milk, beating until smooth. Fold in peaches or nectarines.
• Scoop batter into prepared pan. Bake in preheated over for 23-28 minutes or until golden brown and tops of cupcakes spring back when lightly touched. Let cool in pan on rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and let cool completely on rack.

Steps:

• For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place 12 liners in a cupcake pan.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl, beat the sugar and butter together using an electric mixer until it looks creamy. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract and peach extract until the mixture is smooth. Add half of the flour mixture to the butter mixture and stir until almost combined. Add the buttermilk and peach puree and stir again until almost combined. Add the rest of the flour and stir until all the ingredients are mixed in.
• Fill the cupcake liners with batter using a large ice cream scoop. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pans. Place on a wire rack and cool completely.
• For the filling: Place small saucepan on the stovetop and put on medium heat. Put the peaches and sugar in and bring to slight boil. In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water until no lumps. Add the cornstarch mixture to the pan and keep on medium-low heat for about 1 minute. Cool completely before use. (Makes about 1 1/2 cups filling.)
• For the frosting: Put the mascarpone, cream and confectioners' sugar in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment and beat on medium speed until thick, 4 to 5 minutes. (Makes about 2 cups frosting.)
• Fill the cupcakes with the peach filling and then frost with the mascarpone frosting.

Steps:

• For the cupcakes: Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line one 12-cup standard muffin tin with cupcake liners and spray the top of the tin lightly with baking spray.
• Spread the pecans out on a baking sheet and bake until nicely toasted, 8 to 10 minutes. Allow to cool, then pulse in a food processor until finely ground. Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt and pulse to combine. Set aside.
• Combine the granulated sugar and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or in a large bowl if using a hand-held electric mixer). Beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs 1 at a time, beating to incorporate after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Beat in the lemon zest. Adjust the speed to low and add the flour mixture and sour cream in alternating batches, beginning and ending with the flour.
• Divide the batter evenly in the tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Top each with 2 peach wedges. Bake until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 22 to 24 minutes. Cool the cupcakes on a rack in the tin for 10 minutes, then remove. Cool on the rack completely.
• Combine the peach preserves and lemon juice in a small microwave-safe bowl and heat for a few seconds just to warm through. Generously brush the top of each cupcake with the preserves.
• For the pecan crumble: Combine the flour, pecans, brown sugar, butter and salt in a bowl. Spread the mixture out on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until golden, about 15 minutes, rotating the baking sheet about halfway through. Allow to cool completely, then crumble.
• For the cream topping: Combine the heavy cream, sour cream and confectioners' sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whip on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 4 minutes.
• Top each cupcake with the cream topping and sprinkle with the pecan crumble. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Combine peaches and sugar for filling in a medium saucepan over medium heat; bring to a slight boil.
• Meanwhile, mix cornstarch and water in a separate bowl until smooth and no lumps remain. Add to the peach mixture, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until thick and bubbly, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt for cupcakes together in a medium bowl.
• Beat sugar and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Add eggs, vanilla extract, and peach extract; beat until smooth. Add 1/2 of the flour mixture; stir until combined. Add buttermilk and 1/2 cup pureed peaches; stir until almost fully combined. Stir in remaining flour until incorporated. Fill the prepared muffin cups 2/3 full with batter.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes.
• Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Remove from the pans and let cool completely, about 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, beat cream, pudding mix, and vanilla for frosting with a wire whip attachment until firm peaks form.
