Lavender Peach Champagne Cupcakes

6/13/2020

Ingredients
Lavender Peach Cake
1 Lavender Cake Mix
2 eggs
1 Tbsp oil
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup Peach Champagne (used after cupcakes are baked)

Peach Filling
5 peaches, pitted and chopped
1 Tbsp Lavender Simple Syrup
1/4 cup Peach Champagne

Peach Lavender Frosting
1 Lavender Frosting Mix
2 Tbsp Peach Champagne

Preheat oven to 350 ℉. Prepare a cupcake pan with cooking spray.
In a medium mixing bowl combine your cake mix, eggs, oil, and water. With a hand held mixer blend for 2 minutes on medium speed. Pour into prepared muffin pan. Bake for 19-22 minutes or until golden.

While your cupcakes are baking chop your peaches and combine with Lavender Simple Syrup and peach champagne in a small bowl.

Prepare frosting mix by combining frosting with 2 tbsp of peach champagne and with a hand held mixer blend until smooth.

Once your cupcakes have baked, use a chopstick or fork to poke a few holes into the top of your cupcake. Remove from your pan onto a wire cooling rack. With your reserved 1/2 cup of Peach champagne drizzle over the cupcakes about 2 tbsp of champagne over the top of each cupcake. The champagne will be absorbed. Let sit for about 10 minutes. Cut each cupcake in half and between the layers place about 1 tbsp of peach filling. Top with frosting. Garnish with a thinly sliced peach and lavender cocktail picks.

I used André Peach Champagne for this recipe. It has a beautiful sparkly peach flavor that pairs so well with lavender.

Hi,

This might sound like a strange question, and I obviously don't know how long it's been since you've purchased any, but when you bought Andre's Peach Champagne the last time, did it say Peach Moscato on it? I don't see it on the bottle in your picture... I ask because for some reason I cannot for the life of me find Andre's Peach Champagne anywhere! Only the Peach Moscato.. and while I know they're fairly similar (moscato and "champagne"), they don't taste the same, and I don't care for the Peach Moscato! Please let me know where you get yours if it's really their Peach Champagne, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance. :)

Technically it is a Moscato, classified under sparkling wine. You can sub the peach moscato for champagne which will be more to your liking. The peach will be just a little bit more subtle, but you will achieve the same results.
Enjoy!
