Description
Delightfully soft cupcakes infused with peach puree and Prosecco, topped with silky buttercream and fresh peach slices for a charming twist on the classic cocktail.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup peach puree
- 1/4 cup Prosecco or sparkling wine
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Peach slices for garnish
- Buttercream frosting (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with liners. If needed, prepare peach puree by peeling and dicing a ripe peach, then pureeing it until smooth.
- Cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract and peach puree.
- In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually incorporate dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with Prosecco, mixing gently until just combined.
- Divide the batter among the cupcake liners. Bake for 18–20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Frost cooled cupcakes with buttercream and garnish each with a peach slice. Optionally, brush peach slices with Prosecco for extra sparkle.
Notes
Use ripe peaches for best flavor. Chill cupcakes slightly before serving for neat frosting. Consider variations like Peach-Lemon or Boozy Cherry for a twist.
