These pretty little cakes are flavored with fresh peaches as well as peach schnapps and they’re perfect for summer entertaining!

I don’t know anybody who doesn’t just love fresh peaches and cream, so when you combine them into a cake you just know it’s got to be good, and these are amazing!

Why This Recipe Works

  • Using fresh peaches in the batter gives the cake a natural peach flavor.
  • Cooking the pureed peaches reduces the mixture, removing excess liquid from the fruit preventing a soggy, dense cake that often comes with adding fruit to cake.
  • The fresh whipped cream is the perfect match with the fresh peach flavor in the cake.

How to Make Peaches and Cream Cupcakes

  1. Puree the peaches in a food processor. Heat in a pan, boil and simmer.
  2. Prepare the cake batter.
  3. Add the peach puree to the batter.
  4. Bake the cupcakes until golden.
  5. Decorate the cupcakes with whipped cream.
  6. Serve and enjoy!

Erren’s Top Tips

  • When cooking down the peaches, once it reduces by half, start measuring.  You want it to reduce down to half a cup.  This ensures you get the most flavor out of the reduction as possible.
  • When mixing the fruit with the wet ingredients, it may appear curdled.  Don’t worry; the mixture will smooth once the dry ingredients are added. 
  • If you like a large swirl of frosting It may be a good idea to double the recipe.  This recipe makes 12 large cupcakes (fill the papers 3/4 full).
  • When making the whipped cream in a food processor, watch for the waves that form in the thickening cream.

FAQs

Can you freeze cupcakes?

Yes.  Once cooled, place (the cupcakes without the frosting) in an airtight, freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months.

How do you store cupcakes with whipped cream frosting?

Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container.  You can remove them 30 minutes before you plan to serve them.

How do you store the cupcakes without the icing?

Store in an airtight container or well wrapped at room temperature for 2-3 days.

Prep Time: 20 minutes mins
Cook Time: 20 minutes mins
Cooling Time: 5 minutes mins
Total Time: 45 minutes mins
Serves 12 cupcakes

Ingredients

For the cupcakes:
  • 6 peaches (peeled and quartered)
  • ¾ cup butter (softened)
  • 1½ cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup milk (at room temperature)
  • 2 large eggs (at room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon peach schnapps
  • 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
For the cream:
  • 1¼ cups whipping cream
  • 6 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon skimmed milk powder

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line A 12-count muffin pan with cupcake liners.
  • Add the peaches to a food processor and puree until fully broken down.
  • Add the puree to a saucepan and bring to boil over medium-high heat and cook (stirring occasionally), until reduced to a ½ cup of syrupy liquid. Set aside to cool while preparing the ingredients for the cake.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Add the milk and peach reduction and blend until smooth. Mix in the eggs, peach schnapps, and vanilla.
  • Add the flour, baking powder and salt. Mix until combined.
  • Using a large ice cream scoop, fill the cupcake liners 3/4 of the way full. This recipe makes 12 large cupcakes.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the tops of the cupcakes spring back when gently touched and a cake tester comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
To make the frosting:
  • Add all of the ingredients into a food processor or mixer.
  • Whip until thick (You’ll know it’s ready to use when you run a spoon through it and it doesn’t collapse into the crevice).
Decorating the cupcakes:
  • Using a piping bag, swirl the icing onto the cupcakes

    Can you give an approximate weight or cup measurement for the “6 peaches peeled and quartered”? I have relatively small peaches on my tree and am sure it will need more than 6 peaches, but not sure how many more.

      Hi Christine. Sorry for the late reply. If they are very small, an additional 2 peaches should do. As they are cooked down, it’s the measurement once cooked that is important.

    While the cupcakes were amazing (no complaints from my entire family, who are notoriously picky eaters!) they tasted more like vanilla cupcakes with a slight peach aftertaste.

      Hi Elliot, I’m glad you enjoyed them. It could be that it’s early in the season for peaches and they could lack flavor. Next time add an extra tablespoon of peach schnapps to give it a boost.

      I just use the chopping blade but a whisk tool will work too.
