Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cream Cheese Cupcakes with Sour Cream Frosting.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and prepare 18 muffin cups with paper liners for easy removal.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, whip the cream cheese with an electric mixer until it reaches a velvety smooth consistency.
Step 3
Gradually incorporate the eggs, adding them one at a time and ensuring each is fully blended before introducing the next.
Step 4
Sweeten the mixture by folding in 1 cup of sugar and 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract, mixing until everything is harmoniously combined.
Step 5
Carefully spoon the luscious cream cheese mixture into the lined muffin cups, filling them just shy of the rim.
Step 6
Place the filled cups in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 35 minutes, or until the centers are perfectly set.
Step 7
While the cupcakes are baking, prepare a delightful topping by mixing sour cream, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract in a separate bowl.
Step 8
Once the initial baking time is up, add a teaspoonful of the sour cream mixture atop each cupcake.
Step 9
Return the cupcakes to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to allow the topping to meld beautifully.
Step 10
After baking, let the cupcakes cool to room temperature before transferring them to the refrigerator to chill.
Step 11
Enjoy the delightful contrast of creamy textures and flavors in every bite!.
