Peach Cupcakes with Brown Sugar Frosting
As good to eat as they are to look at, these sweet cupcakes combine fresh peaches with warmly flavored brown sugar, buttermilk, and nutmeg.

FROM THE
RECIPE:
These cakes are extremely light, airy and moist, nothing like the dense cake recipes more traditionally used as cupcake bases. Personally, I consider this a very good thing. You know what else? Sans frosting, they'd make great breakfast muffins — just dial back one of the sugars by a generous quarter-cup and maybe even swap half of that flour with whole wheat. You could also chop in some pecans, but don't blame me if nobody in your house wants to share.

without muffin tins I made this into a bundt cake (cooking time ~50minutes)
without cream cheese I made a glaze with simple syrup made with brown sugar.
pouring most of the syrup onto the cake and cooling it in the fridge I continued to reduce the syrup... which I then added just before serving.
it was a big cake for 6 people but we almost finished it in one night--sooo tasty!
