Introduction
Today, we are preparing a delicacy that is as beautiful to the eyes as it is satisfying to the taste buds, the Peach Rose Cupcakes. Made from the freshest peaches, bathed in a hint of rosewater and topped with a light, milky frosting, these cupcakes are the perfect gourmet dessert for any occasion. Let’s get started.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 cup fresh peach puree
- 2 tsp rosewater
- For the frosting:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp rosewater
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Peach slices, for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract, peach puree, and rosewater.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Do not overmix.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cupcakes are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a large bowl, beat the butter until it is creamy and light. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar, then add the vanilla and rosewater. Continue beating until the frosting is light and fluffy.
- Once the cupcakes are cooled, frost each one with a generous amount of frosting. Top each cupcake with a slice of peach, to give it an artisan look. Serve and enjoy!
