Frosting

• 6 Cups Powdered Sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350F.
2. Grease a muffin pan. Line it with muffin liners and grease them as well.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix to combine and set aside.
4. Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat the butter until creamy. Gradually add the sugar and continue beating on low for three minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the eggs one by one. Add the vanilla extract and peach preserves. Continue beating until everything is incorporated and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
