Instructions

- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

- For the frosting: Beat together cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until light and fluffy. Frost the cupcakes.
Notes
For a more intense peach flavor, use fresh, ripe peaches. You can also add a pinch of cinnamon to the cupcake batter or frosting.
