Making Peaches & Cream Cupcakes can be simple and enjoyable if you follow these detailed steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
4. Add Eggs: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
5. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the milk and vanilla extract to the mixture and blend until fully combined.
6. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
7. Fold in Peaches: Carefully fold in the diced peaches, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
8. Fill Cupcake Liners: Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
9. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
10. Cool: Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 15 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Prepare Whipped Cream: While the cupcakes cool, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
12. Frost the Cupcakes: Once the cupcakes are completely cool, pipe or spread the whipped cream on top of each cupcake.
13. Garnish: Top each cupcake with fresh peach slices for an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal.
