Fresh Peach Cupcakes

I absolutely love fresh peaches! This cupcake recipe is a great way to enjoy them. I adapted this recipe from my grandmother’s old fashion strawberry cake recipe made with Jello. The peach flavor is so light and refreshing. They are sure to be on your list of summertime favorites.
