Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup fresh peaches, diced
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
Leavening Agents:
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Flavor and Seasoning:
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Arrange the oven rack in the middle position and heat to 350F (175C). Place cupcake liners in the pan.
- Combine flour, leavening agents, and salt in a mixing bowl, whisking thoroughly to distribute ingredients evenly.
- Cream butter and sugar until the mixture becomes pale and voluminous, creating a smooth base for the cupcakes.
- Incorporate eggs individually, ensuring each is fully integrated before adding the next. Blend in vanilla extract to enhance flavor profile.
- Gradually introduce dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with milk. Mix minimally to prevent overworking the batter.
- Delicately incorporate diced peaches and raspberries, distributing them gently throughout the batter to ensure even fruit placement.
- Portion the batter equally among cupcake liners, filling each approximately two-thirds full for optimal rising.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, monitoring until a inserted toothpick emerges clean and cupcakes display a golden exterior.
- Transfer cupcakes to a wire cooling rack, allowing them to reach room temperature completely before applying frosting.
- Decorate with preferred buttercream or whipped cream frosting, creating a smooth and elegant finish.
Notes
- Ensure peaches and raspberries are fresh and ripe for maximum flavor intensity and natural sweetness.
- Dice fruits into small, uniform pieces to distribute evenly throughout the cupcake batter without weighing down the delicate texture.
- Pat fruits dry with paper towels before adding to prevent excess moisture from making cupcakes soggy and compromising their light consistency.
- Consider using gluten-free flour blend for a celiac-friendly version that maintains the same tender crumb and fruity profile.
