Ingredients
For the Peach Cupcakes
2-1/2 cups (625 mL) all-purpose flour
2-1/2 tsp (12 mL) baking powder
1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
3/4 cup (175 mL) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup (250 mL) granulated sugar
1/2 cup (125 mL) packed light brown sugar
3 large eggs
3/4 cup (175 mL) whole milk
 
1/2 cup (125 mL) sour cream
1 tbsp (15 mL) pure vanilla extract
1 tbsp (15 mL) rum, optional
2 cups (500 mL) peeled and diced ripe but firm peaches
For the Coconut Rum Buttercream-
4 large egg whites
1 cup (250 mL) granulated sugar
1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
1 lb (500 g) unsalted butter, softened and cut into 16 pieces

Instructions
1/2 cup (125 mL) cream of coconut, such as Coco Lopez 1 tsp (5 mL) coconut extract 2 tbsp (30 mL) light rum Additional sliced fresh peaches for garnish
Preheat the oven to 350F/180C. Line two 12-cup cupcake tins with paper liners. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter with both sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition and stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Add one-third of the flour mixer to the batter, mixing to combine, followed by the milk, another third of the flour mixture, the sour cream and the final third of the flour mixture. Mix in the vanilla and rum until all ingredients are fully incorporated and the batter is smooth. Fold in the peaches.
Divide the batter among the prepared cupcake tins, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Bake cupcakes in the center of the oven until tops are puffed and spring back when lightly touched, 18-20 minutes. Cool cupcakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely. While cupcakes cool, prepare the buttercream. In the metal or glass bowl of an electric mixer, combine the egg whites, sugar and salt. Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, whisking constantly until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is very warm to the touch (about 120F/48 C.) Attach the bowl to the electric mixer and fit the mixer with the whisk attachment. Beat the warm egg white mixture at high speed until the bowl has cooled and the mixture is thick, firm and glossy, about 8 minutes.
Reduce the speed of the mixer to medium-high and beat in the butter, 1 piece at a time, fully incorporating each piece before adding another. Beat in the cream of coconut, coconut extract and rum, and continue to beat for 1-2 minutes, until the ingredients are well combined and the buttercream is smooth. If you plan to pipe the buttercream onto the cupcakes, transfer the buttercream to a piping bag fitted with your tip of choice (I chose a large open star tip.) Pipe the buttercream decoratively onto the cupcakes. Otherwise, swirl the buttercream onto the cupcakes with an offset spatula or a knife. Top each cupcake with a fresh peach slice for garnish. Serve immediately!
