Cupcake
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and nutmeg and set aside.
Cream the butter and sugars together, beating until fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl between each addition, and then the vanilla.
Gently mix in the buttermilk, sour cream or yogurt. Stir in the dry ingredients and fold in the peach chunks.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a tester inserted into the center of cupcakes comes out clean.
Let cupcakes cool on rack
Frosting:
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until fluffy.
Add the sugar-cornstarch mixture and vanilla, beat until frosting is smooth and light. Make sure there are no brown sugar clumps left.
Chill the bowl in the refrigerator until it thickens back up a bit, about 30 minutes, then spread or dollop on cooled cupcakes.
