The image shows a slice of layered cake on a white plate with a dark rim, placed on a white marbled surface. The cake has three layers: the top and bottom layers are light yellow sponge cake, and the middle layer is white cream mixed with red raspberries. There is a thin layer of white cream between each sponge cake layer with visible bits of red raspberries. The top of the cake slice is decorated with fresh red raspberries, some with green stems, giving a fresh and natural look. Scattered raspberries surround the plate, adding to the vibrant red and yellow contrast. The texture of the cake looks soft and moist, with creamy and fruity details. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup buttermilk
1 cup diced fresh peaches (or canned, drained)
2 cups diced peaches
¼ cup sugar
1 tsp cornstarch
1 tbsp lemon juice
¼ tsp cinnamon
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
¼ tsp cinnamon

Instructions

Step 1: In a saucepan, combine the 2 cups diced peaches, ¼ cup sugar, 1 tsp cornstarch, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and ¼ tsp cinnamon. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and bubbles. Remove from heat and let it cool.
Step 2: In a bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter with 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Gently fold in 1 cup diced peaches.
Step 3: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. Fill each liner halfway with the cupcake batter, then add a spoonful of the cooled peach filling. Top with more batter until each liner is about ¾ full.
Step 4: Mix the brown sugar, ½ cup flour, melted butter, and ¼ tsp cinnamon in a bowl until crumbly to create the streusel topping. Sprinkle this evenly over each cupcake.
Step 5: Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips & Variations

Use fresh, ripe peaches for the best flavor, but canned peaches drained well work great in a pinch.
For extra warmth, add a pinch of nutmeg to the streusel topping.
Try substituting half the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a nuttier texture.
If you don’t have buttermilk, use regular milk mixed with 1 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar and let it sit for 5 minutes.

Storage

Store cooled cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to enjoy the warm peach flavors. These cupcakes also freeze well wrapped tightly for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the fridge before serving.

How to Serve

A slice of three-layered cake sits on a white plate with a cream rim, placed on a white marbled surface. The bottom layer is light yellow cake with bits of pistachio, followed by a thin white cream layer with red raspberry pieces. The middle layer is thicker, pale yellow cake, topped with another thin white cream layer mixed with more raspberry bits. The top layer is a smooth, pale yellow icing. Fresh red raspberries with green stems are placed on top and around the cake slice, adding a bright pop of color. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make these cupcakes gluten-free?

Yes, you can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking blend in equal amounts. Make sure the blend contains xanthan gum or add it separately to help with texture.
