Preparation

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 25 muffin cups with paper liners. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg and set aside.
• Cream the butter and sugars together, beating until fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl between each addition, and then the vanilla.
• Gently mix in the sour cream. Stir in the dry ingredients and fold in the peach chunks. Puree 2 peaches in a foodprocessor and stir into batter as well.
• Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a tester inserted into the center of cupcakes comes out clean and tops are golden brown.
• Cool the cupcakes for five minutes in the tin, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
• Mix butter and cream cheese on medium-high in the bowl of an electric mixture. Switching to low speed, add powdered sugar one cup at a time.
• Beat in vanilla extract until it is smooth and has reached desired consistency.
