Peaches and Cream Cupcakes


I love peaches and cream and today June 21 is historically the day to honor the flavors of peaches and cream so I am sharing this recipe for Peaches and Cream Cupcakes as well as a Peaches and Cream Dessert in the next post. I hope you enjoy

•2 large eggs



•1 C sugar



•1/2 C unsalted butter, room temperature



•1 1/2 t vanilla extract



•1/2 C sour cream



•2 C peaches and cream blended into a mush (see this peaches and cream recipe) or 1 C peach jam (try to find high quality jam with lots of real peach pieces or, if the season is right, make your own peach jam)

1.Mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium-sized bowl and set aside.

2.In a large bowl, with an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the eggs and sugar for about 2 minutes, or until light and creamy.
