Instructies
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C, or gas mark 4).
Line a standard muffin tin with paper liners.
In a saucepan, combine the peaches, raspberries, sugar, and water.
Heat over medium heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat and let cool.
Stir in the vanilla.
Purée the mixture with an immersion or countertop blender until mostly smooth, leaving it slightly chunky.
Reserve 1 cup (225 g) for topping.
Add the oil, lemon extract, and milk to the purée and stir to combine.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, being careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners.
Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cupcakes cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, spoon an equal portion of the reserved peach and raspberry purée onto each cupcake.
