Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Cupcake Batter
  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cups champagne or sparkling wine
  • 0.5 cups peach puree
For the Peach Buttercream
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 0.5 cups peach puree
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Garnish
  • Fresh peach slices
  • Sparkling sugar

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.
  2. Soften the butter at room temperature.
Mixing the Batter
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together for 3 to 4 minutes until pale and fluffy.
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition and then add vanilla extract.
  4. Mix the dry ingredients and wet ingredients (champagne + peach puree) in alternating additions until just combined.
Baking
  1. Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full and bake for 18 to 20 minutes.
  2. Check with a toothpick at the 18-minute mark; they’re done when a toothpick comes out clean.
  3. Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Making the Peach Buttercream
  1. Beat the softened butter on medium-high speed until super pale and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  2. Gradually add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, avoiding powdered sugar explosions.
  3. Mix in peach puree and vanilla extract, beating on medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes until fluffy.
Frosting and Garnishing
  1. Pipe or spread the peach buttercream on each fully cooled cupcake.
  2. Garnish with a fresh peach slice and a sprinkle of sparkling sugar.

Notes

Use real champagne or prosecco for the best flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
