Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 350F. Line 16 cupcake tins with liners.

In the bowl of a mixer, mix together the vegetable oil and sugar. Beat in the egg.

In another bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. To the sugar mixture, add 1/3 of the flour mixture. Then add half of the milk. Add another 1/3 of the flour, the rest of the milk, then the remaining flour. Mix just until combined. Fold in the jam.

In a small bowl, combine the chopped peaches and flour. Fold into the batter. Fill the cupcake tins 2/3 full with the mixture and bake until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 17- 20 minutes. Cool completely.

To make the frosting: In the bowl of a mixer, cream together all of the ingredients. Pipe onto cooled cupcakes. Top with a peach slice.
