Ingredients
- 2 C flour
- 1 1/2 t baking powder
- 1/2 t baking soda
- 2 t cinnamon
- 3/4 C butter, room temperature
- 1 1/3 C maple sugar 2 eggs
- 2/3 C whole milk
- 3 T maple syrup (the real stuff)
- 1 t vanilla extract
- 1/2 t maple extract
- 15 oz peaches, chopped finely
Preparation
Step 1
-With a fork, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon in a bowl.
-Beat butter and maple sugar in a large bowl for 1 minute until light and fluffy.
-Beat in eggs, milk, maple syrup, and extracts until blended.
-Mix in flour mixture.
-Fold in peaches.
-Fill cupcake liners 3/4 full.
-Bake at 350 F for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out of the cupcake clean.
{if you choose to turn your cupcake into an ice cream cupcake}
-Cut the cooled cupcake in half. (You can probably cut the cupcake in a straighter line than I. I tended to go kinda crooked.)
-Frost the top half with peach whipped cream. (I found it easier to frost after cutting, rather than trying to cut the frosted cupcake.)
-Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
-When you are ready to serve, stick a small scoop of maple ice cream between the two halves of the cupcake and sprinkle some maple sugar all over!
