To Make the Cupcake Base

  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the peach puree, mixing until just combined.
  6. Spoon the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
To Make the Frosting
  1. In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.
  2. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until smooth. Add the vanilla extract and heavy cream, and mix until fluffy.
To Assemble
  1. Once the cupcakes are completely cool, frost each cupcake with the prepared vanilla frosting.
  2. Top each frosted cupcake with fresh raspberries and a slice of peach.
  3. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
