Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 tablespoons butter, at room temperature
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon peach extract
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup peach puree
- 2 cups fresh or frozen peaches, pureed
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 pound mascarpone cheese
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
Instructions
- For the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place 12 liners in a cupcake pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl, beat the sugar and butter together using an electric mixer until it looks creamy. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract and peach extract until the mixture is smooth. Add half of the flour mixture to the butter mixture and stir until almost combined. Add the buttermilk and peach puree and stir again until almost combined. Add the rest of the flour and stir until all the ingredients are mixed in.
- Fill the cupcake liners with batter using a large ice cream scoop. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pans. Place on a wire rack and cool completely.
- For the filling: Place small saucepan on the stovetop and put on medium heat. Put the peaches and sugar in and bring to slight boil. In a separate small bowl, mix the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water until no lumps. Add the cornstarch mixture to the pan and keep on medium-low heat for about 1 minute. Cool completely before use. (Makes about 1 1/2 cups filling.)
- For the frosting: Put the mascarpone, cream and confectioners’ sugar in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment and beat on medium speed until thick, 4 to 5 minutes. (Makes about 2 cups frosting.)
- Fill the cupcakes with the peach filling and then frost with the mascarpone frosting.

Reviews
I made this and thought it was very good
I thought this cupcake recipe was awesome. I did substitute the peach extract with peach schnaps. I even put some in the cake batter, the filling and the frosting. I think that’s what made the cake so moist.
The frosting was delicious, very light and not too sweet! Cupcakes will have to be refrigerated due to dairy. The cake itself was marginal at best. While it required a plethora of ingredients(peach puree and peach and vanilla extract the flavors were very subtle. I did use schnapps as recommended by another poster but the flavor was just not there even with the cupcakes being filled. While I will not make the cakes again, I will use the delicious frosting for other recipes!!
Don’t put the mascarpone in the mixer! Whip the cream and sugar and then fold in the mascarpone. I ruined three batches trying the exact directions. Cupcakes are extremely tasty!
Wow! These were actually the moistest & fluffiest cupcakes that I ever made. I had fresh peaches so I used those but just couldn’t wait for the peach extract from OliveNation to arrive so I substituted peach schnapps. I had no idea if that was a no-no or not but after they came out, I discovered it was an “oh yes!” (though it may have been fine without the schnapps. I filled the liners up only half way with batter but they still rose above the cupcake liner! I am glad I doubled the recipe!
These are the BEST cupcakes I have ever made!!! I love them. I have made them twice already. I got peach extract from Amazon for 7.99 by OliveNation. Absolutely nothing went wrong making these… they were PERFECT.
This recipe was awesome!!! Made it for my grandfathers birthday, and everyone LOVED them! I didn’t have any peach extract but I added a little bit of peach purée and it tasted the same.
We weren’t impressed… Maybe it would’ve been better if I’d actually been able to find peach extract.
They taste great. Not 2 sweet which is perfect for adults. I bought frozen peaches but i really want to make it with fresh peaches. Can’t wait!
