Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Rustic Red Velvet Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Filling.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and lining 24 regular-sized muffin cups with cheerful paper baking liners.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, mix together softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and a splash of lemon juice.
Step 3
Grab your electric mixer and beat the mixture on medium speed for about 2 minutes, until it’s smooth and creamy—this will be your delightful filling, so set it aside for now.
Step 4
Next, prepare the red velvet cake mix according to the package instructions, adding the necessary water, oil, and eggs.
Step 5
Once your batter is ready, fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full with this rich, velvety goodness.
Step 6
Now, take about 2 tablespoons of your luscious cream cheese filling and drop it right into the center of each muffin cup, creating a delicious surprise inside.
Step 7
Pop the tray into the center of your preheated oven and bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Once they’re done, let the cupcakes cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 9
When they’re cool and ready to enjoy, store any leftovers in the refrigerator, covered to keep them fresh.
Step 10
For a sweet finishing touch, sprinkle some powdered sugar on top before serving, and watch your friends and family delight in these scrumptious treats!.
