STEP 3: Peach Cupcake - Method
Using an electric mixer, beat butter and granulated sugar in a mixing bowl until pale, about 2 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in pulverized peaches.
Mix in flour mixture in three batches, alternating with two batches of buttermilk mixture. Mix until just combined, scraping down bowl as needed. (I like to mix the last bit by hand using a spatula to make sure I get all the stuff at the bottom.) Scoop batter into cupcake tins.
Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into center of cake comes out clean, about 21 to 24 minutes. Allow cupcakes to cool in tins for 10 minutes, and then remove cupcakes and place them on a cooling rack.

STEP 4: Peach Cream Cheese Frosting - Ingredients
Makes enough to frost 24 cupcakes

1 cup of butter, softened
8 oz of cream cheese, softened

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3-5 cups of confectioners sugar
Ingredients
1 cup of butter, softened
8 oz of cream cheese, softened
1.75 oz (49grams) freeze dried peaches (Target has Archer Farms brand), pulverized in a mini food processor
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3-5 cups of confectioners sugar
STEP 5: Peach Cream Cheese Frosting - Method
In a large mixing bowl, mix butter until it is softened and uniform. Add cream cheese and beat together until it is uniform. Add vanilla extract and mix. Add pulverized peaches and mix. Add 3 cups of sugar to the mixture and mix. Add more sugar if necessary. Mix again until mixture is creamy and spreadable. Add more sugar if necessary, otherwise prepare to frost cake.
STEP 6: Assembly
Using either a piping bag or a spatula, frost each cupcake with a liberal amount of frosting. The cupcakes pictured here were frosted using a 2D tip and a piping bag. Start in the middle and swirl outward, holding piping tip perpendicular to the cupcake.
Garnish with slices of fresh peach for an extra elegant look.

I had to make these twice, but they were somewhat better the second time around. The biggest issue was that they were flat and spread out too much.
1. I think the measurement for the flour is off and is a computer error. Use closer to 2 1/2 to 2 3/4 cups.
2. do not pulverize the peaches ahead of time. They congeal and are unusable.

Questions about the cupcake part:
1) Has anyone made these with almond flour or coconut flour, and how did they turn out?
2) Since it's not easy to find good fresh peaches right now, can I use frozen peaches to puree for the cake?
Thanks!
