Equipment

  • cupcake pan
  • mixing bowls
  • whisk
  • Microwave
  • standing mixer
  • piping bag

Ingredients
  

Cupcakes

  • ½ cup unsalted brown butter melted
  • ½ cup light brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups cake flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup milk

Spiced Peaches

  • 2 cups peaches fresh or frozen
  • ¼ cup light brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • pinch kosher salt

Stabilized Whipped Cream

  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons flavorless powdered gelatin
  • 2 tablespoons water

Instructions
 

Spiced Peaches

  • Thinly slice the peaches (and peel if desired) and add to a small pot. Add in the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and cornstarch.
  • Cook for 10-15 minutes until the peaches soften and the sauce thickens.
  • Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.

Cupcakes

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 12 cup cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
  • Whisk the cake flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the brown butter, light brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, and vanilla together until combined.
  • Stir in about half of the flour mixture. Then stir in the milk and the rest of the flour mixture and mix until fully combined.
  • Pour about ¼ cup of batter into each cupcake liner (they should be about halfway full). Bake at 350°F for 18-22 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.
  • Remove from pan and let cool on wire rack. Let the cupcakes cool completely before decorating.
  • Use a cupcake corer to remove the center of each cupcake, then fill with about 2 teaspoons of spiced peaches.

Stabilized Whipped Cream

  • Add the water to a microwave safe bowl and sprinkle the unflavored gelatin on top. Allow to sit for a few minutes.
  • Transfer the gelatin mixture to the microwave and microwave for 5-10 seconds, until the gelatin is fully dissolved.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip the mixture until it starts to thicken and soft peaks form.
  • Slowly pour in the gelatin mixture and mix on low until well combined. Increase the mixer to medium speed and continue mixing until stiff peaks form.
  • Transfer the stabilized whipped cream into a piping bag fitted with a 1M tip and pipe swirls on each cupcake.
  • Top with sliced peaches and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Notes

These cupcakes will last in the fridge for up to 3 days; serve at room temperature for best flavor.
