This Bourbon Peach Cupcake is phenomenal! The taste of true, fresh, and genuine peaches come through moist and soft cakes and soft buttercream! And a little bourbon never hurt anyone
Peach cupcakes are made with frozen dried peaches and genuine peach pieces mixed for a true peach flavor. Buttercream is stirred with freeze-dried peaches and a little bourbon for a nice little kick. Bourbon and peaches must be together from now on. Let's sign the petition!
INGREDIENTS
FOR CUPCAKES:
- 1 box of the yellow cake mixture
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup of vegetable oil
- 1 cup of nectar or peach water
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 cups of freeze-dried peaches, ground into a fine powder in a food processor
- I can peel half, dry
- 2 Tbsp bourbon, optional but recommended
FOR BUTTERCREAM:
- ¾ cup unsalted, soft butter
- 1 tablespoon of bourbon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup of freeze-dried peaches, ground into a fine powder in a food processor
- ¼ cup of heavy whipped cream
- 3 & 1/2 -4 cups of confectioner's sugar
- Fresh peach slices for decoration
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Row 2 muffin cans with about 18-20 paper liners; set aside. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together a mixture of cake, eggs, oil, nectar or peach water, brown sugar, bourbon, and freeze-dried peach powder with an electric mixer until mixed and smooth, about 2 minutes. Add half of the peach and shake for about 30 seconds to break the peach into pieces.
- The dough section is evenly distributed between each muffin cup, filling about ¾ full. Roast around. 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean or with wet crumbs. Really cool.
- For the buttercream: In a standing mixer bowl, beat with butter, bourbon, and vanilla extract until creamy, about 1 minute. Add the freeze-dried peach powder and one cup of sweetened sugar, shake until mixed. Alternatively, add a little heavy whipped cream and the remaining sugar until the sugar becomes light and smooth.
- Pipe or spread frosting over refrigerated cupcakes and cover with fresh peach slices, if desired.
