Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 225 grams cream cheese
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 225 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 120 milliliters whole milk
- 100 grams cheddar cheese (shredded)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and unsalted butter together until creamy and smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually add the granulated sugar and continue to beat until fluffy, about 2 more minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Mix in the vanilla extract until combined.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, taking care not to overmix.
Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese using a spatula until evenly distributed in the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cheese cupcakes as they are or topped with a light cream cheese frosting for added decadence.
