Instructions
Creating Red Velvet Cheesecake Cupcakes can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
2. Make Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Set aside.
3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, food coloring, vanilla extract, and vinegar until smooth.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Fill Cupcake Liners: Spoon a tablespoon of the red velvet batter into each cupcake liner, filling them about one-third full.
7. Add Cheesecake Filling: Place a tablespoon of the cheesecake filling on top of the red velvet batter in each liner.
8. Top with Remaining Batter: Add another tablespoon of red velvet batter over the cheesecake filling, ensuring it is fully covered.
9. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
10. Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cupcakes cool in the tin for about 10 minutes. Then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
