Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup peach juice
  • ¼ cup bubbly wine (like Prosecco or Champagne)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh peach puree (optional)
  • For the frosting:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons peach juice
  • 2 tablespoons bubbly wine
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Fresh peach slices for decoration

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a cupcake pan with paper liners.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, whisking them together until well mixed.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is light and airy.
  4. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully blended before adding the next.
  5. Mix in the vanilla extract, peach juice, and bubbly wine until everything is well combined.
  6. Carefully fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  7. If desired, add the fresh peach puree for an extra burst of flavor.
  8. Spoon the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
  9. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. For the frosting, whip the softened butter until it reaches a creamy consistency.
  12. Gradually mix in the powdered sugar on low speed until fully incorporated.
  13. Add the peach juice, bubbly wine, and vanilla extract, then increase the speed and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy.
  14. Once the cupcakes have cooled completely, generously pipe or spread the peach frosting on top of each cupcake.
  15. Finish by adorning each one with a slice of fresh peach for a delightful touch.

Notes

  • For an intensified peach flavor, consider adding extra fresh peach puree to either the batter or the frosting.
  • For a non-alcoholic option, swap the bubbly wine with sparkling cider to create a kid-friendly treat.
