Notes

Room Temperature Ingredients:Make sure your butter, eggs, and cream cheese are at room temperature to ensure smooth mixing and a better texture.
Don’t Overmix:Mix the batter until just combined to avoid dense cupcakes.
Fresh Peaches:Use ripe, fresh peaches for the best flavor. If peaches are out of season, canned or frozen peaches work as well.
