Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 12-cup cupcake pan by lining it with colorful cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together ½ cup of softened unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup of champagne, ¼ cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and ½ cup of peach puree.
- Gradually add the wet mixture to the creamed butter and sugar, mixing until just combined.
- Fill each cupcake liner about ⅔ full with the batter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- To prepare the buttercream, beat ½ cup of softened unsalted butter until creamy, then gradually mix in 2 cups of powdered sugar and ½ cup of peach puree.
- Frost each cupcake generously with the peach buttercream.
- Garnish with a slice of fresh peach and a sprinkle of sparkling sugar if desired.

Notes
Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for best results. Avoid overmixing the batter to prevent dense cupcakes.
