- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup whole milk (can substitute with any dairy-free milk)

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners.
- In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together until well blended.
- In another bowl, use an electric mixer to beat unsalted butter until creamy. Add granulated sugar and beat until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in honey until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture while alternating with whole milk. Mix until just combined. Gently fold in diced fresh peaches.
- In a separate bowl, mix cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Add egg yolk and vanilla extract, and beat until smooth.
- Spoon half of the cupcake batter into each lined cupcake compartment. Add about a tablespoon of cream cheese filling on top. Then top with the remaining batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let them cool before serving.
