Tips for Baking Success

Ingredients

For the Cupcakes

  • 200g cream cheese, softened
  • 50g unsalted butter, softened
  • 100ml milk
  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 80g granulated sugar
  • 40g all-purpose flour
  • 20g cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Make sure to gather all your ingredients before starting.

Steps

Prepare the Batter

Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F). In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add the milk and egg yolks, mixing until combined.

Sift in the flour and cornstarch, then mix well.

Whip the Egg Whites

In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until foamy. Gradually add the sugar and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.

Combine Mixtures

Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cream cheese mixture in three additions. Be careful not to deflate the batter.

Bake

Line a cupcake pan with liners and pour the batter into each cup, filling them about 3/4 full. Bake for about 25 minutes or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

Cool and Serve

Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.

Storage and Serving Suggestions

These fluffy cupcakes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. The cupcakes will maintain their delightful texture while remaining fresh and inviting. If you want to stay organized, consider labeling them with the date they were made, ensuring you enjoy them at their best.

For an added twist, consider pairing the cupcakes with easy fruit coulis or whipped cream for a more decadent dessert experience. Fresh berries or a drizzle of chocolate sauce can also elevate the flavors while adding beautiful presentation elements to your serving plates.

Adapting the Recipe

Feel free to customize your cupcakes by incorporating different flavors. A teaspoon of lemon or orange zest can add a refreshing citrus note to the batter. Alternatively, you can mix in some matcha powder for a unique green tea flavor that pairs perfectly with the cheesecake base.

Another fun adaptation is using flavored extracts instead of vanilla. Almond or hazelnut extracts can impart a beautiful aroma and depth of flavor, giving you a delightful twist on the original recipe. These variations not only keep the recipe exciting but also make it more personalized.
