1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup diced fresh peaches (or canned peaches, drained)

For the Cream Cheese Filling:

Instructions:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper cupcake liners.
Make the Cupcake Batter:
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Mix in the sour cream until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Gently fold in the diced peaches and honey.
Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling:
In a bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Assemble the Cupcakes:
Fill each cupcake liner halfway with the cupcake batter.
Add a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture on top of the batter.
Top with a little more cupcake batter, covering the cream cheese filling completely.
Bake: Bake the cupcakes for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the Glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and honey until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cupcakes.
