Ingredients
  

Cupcake Base
  • 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp baking powder
Cheesecake Filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
Strawberry Topping
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries pureed or chopped
  • 2 tbsp sugar optional, for added sweetness

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
  2. For the cupcake base: In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  3. Gradually add flour, baking powder, and milk, mixing until combined.
  4. Spoon the batter into cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely.
  5. For the cheesecake filling: Beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add egg, vanilla, and sour cream. Mix until fully combined.
  6. Once the cupcakes have cooled, create a small well in each cupcake and fill with cheesecake mixture. Bake for an additional 10-12 minutes. Let cool.
  7. For the strawberry topping: Blend strawberries with sugar (if using) and set aside to cool. Top each cupcake with strawberry topping before serving.
