Ingredients

For the cupcake base:

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg

For the cheesecake filling:

8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup fresh raspberries

Steps to Create These Irresistible Cupcakes

Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners to make clean-up a breeze.
Make the Cupcake Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another bowl, beat the butter until smooth, then add the milk, vanilla, and egg. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ones, stirring until just combined.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese with the sugar until fully combined and smooth. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, beating until creamy. Gently fold in the raspberries, but be careful not to break them into too many pieces.
Assemble Your Cupcakes: Fill each cupcake liner about two-thirds full with cupcake batter. Then, take a spoonful of the cheesecake filling and dollop it right on top of each cupcake batter. Swirl it in gently to create a marbled effect.
Bake: Pop the tin in the oven and let them bake for about 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake part comes out clean. Remember, some cheesecake filling may cling to the toothpick – that just means it’s gooey and delicious!
Cool and Serve: Once baked, allow them to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

These cupcakes are sure to bring smiles to your table. You might want to think about making a double batch because trust me, they’re too good to resist! And if you’re eager to explore more delightful desserts, see our raspberry cheesecake cupcakes for a different twist!

Cooking Tips to Enhance Your Experience

Room Temperature: Ensure your ingredients, especially the cream cheese, are at room temperature. This makes them blend together flawlessly.
Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, stick to folding gently. Overmixing can result in dense cupcakes.
Berry Variations: Feel free to switch up the berries! Blueberries or strawberries would work just as wonderfully.
