1. For the cupcakes:
2. Preheat your oven to 350F. Put paper liners into two 12-count muffin tins.
3. Using the paddle attachment of your mixer, mix butter, sugars, peaches, and oil. Add one egg at a time until combined. Set aside.
4. In a separate bowl sift flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Begin adding it into the wet mixture. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the half and half a little at a time until everything is combined. Using your spatula, mix in the peach extract. (Also add a dash of cinnamon if you're feeling spicy).
5. Pour batter into cupcake tins (lined with pretty papers...or just plain $1 ones if you're on a budget like me!) and bake for 20-25 minutes.
6. Raspberry Buttercream:
7. In a saucepan combine raspberries, sugar, and water. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Stir until a syrup forms and all berries are broken down. Take off of stove to cool.
8. With the paddle attachment of your mixer, whip butter until fluffy.
9. Strain raspberry syrup through a sieve into a bowl, so it is free of seeds. Add syrup to butter and mix. Add powdered sugar and mix until all is light and fluffy. Use a spatula to mix in the vanilla. If you need some additional moisture mix in half and half one tablespooon at a time.
10. Once cupcakes have cooled, frost, enjoy. Repeat!
