Old Fashioned Cupcakes

I have been wanting to make this
old fashioned cupcake recipe for a long time.
I was sick today, so I decided to make
them to pass the time this evening.

A friend had gave me a magazine
called "Where Woman Cook."
It features women all over the world
that cook in practical kitchens.
It's a wonderful magazine I would
recommend to anyone.

These cupcakes are delicious.
They are different than most cupcakes,
they are more like a shortcake.
I added fresh peaches to the batter
and icing, and they taste just like summer.

A moist cupcake topped with creamy, peach icing.


 I love buying printed cupcake papers.


Cool frosting and ice generously.


I ate one... then had to eat another one for this photo.


Place on a plate and off to a picnic you go.

Old Fashioned Cupcakes

1 3/4 cups cake flour
1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1 Tbsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. salt
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, at room temperature, cut into cubes
4 large eggs, at room temperature
1 cup whole milk
1 tsp. pure vanilla
1 peach, diced 

Add flours, sugar, baking powder, and salt to a large
mixing bowl. Mix on low speed for 3 minutes.

Add butter and continue mixing on low speed until
mixture resembles course sand.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing on medium speed.
Slowly add milk and vanilla to batter and
continue mixing until thoroughly combined.
Fold in peach.

Scoop 1/4 cup batter into baking cups.
Bake at 325 for 17-20 minutes,
until toothpick comes out clean.
Cool and frost.

Creamy Peach Icing

Whip together crisco and peach. Add 10x sugar,
salt and vanilla. Beat until creamy.
 Cool in refrigerator to thicken.


Blessings,
Hope
