Step 1: Get the muffin tin and oven ready.

  • Oven Prep: Set the oven’s temperature to 350°F, or 175°C.
  • Line Muffin Tin: Use cupcake liners to line a muffin tin. Makes roughly 12 cupcakes using this recipe.

Prepare the Cheesecake Filling in Step Two.

  • Combine Ingredients: Beat the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar together until smooth in a medium-sized bowl.
  • Add the Egg and Vanilla Extract: Beat the egg and extract until well blended. Put aside.

Prepare the Red Velvet Cupcake Batter in Step Three.

  • Mix Dry Ingredients: Sift flour, sugar, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt in a big basin.
  • Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate dish, thoroughly mix together the egg, buttermilk, vegetable oil, red food colouring, vanilla essence, and white vinegar.
  • Mix Wet and Dry components: Add the wet components to the dry ones little by little, stirring just until incorporated. Avoid over-mixing.

Step 4: Put the Cupcakes Together

  • Fill Liners: Fill each cupcake liner with approximately 1 tablespoon of the red velvet batter.
  • Add Cheesecake Filling: Top the red velvet batter with a tablespoon of the cheesecake filling.
  • Add Batter: Evenly top the cheesecake filling with a spoonful more of the red velvet batter.

Bake the Cupcakes in Step Five.

  • Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of a cupcake comes out clean, in a preheated oven.
  • Cool: Take the cupcakes out of the oven and give them five minutes to cool inside the pan. Next, move the cupcakes to a wire rack to finish cooling before applying the frosting.

Step 6: Prepare the Frosting using Cream Cheese

  • Beat Butter and Cream Cheese: Softened cream cheese and butter should be combined in a large mixing dish and beaten until smooth and creamy.
  • Add Vanilla and Powdered Sugar: Beat on low speed until well combined. Add the powdered sugar gradually, one cup at a time. When the frosting is light and frothy, add the vanilla extract and beat on high speed for two to three minutes.
  • Step Seven: Ice the Cupcakes
  • Frosting: After the cupcakes are totally cool, use a spatula or a piping bag equipped with your preferred tip to frost them.
  • Optionally garnish with red velvet crumbs or any other embellishments you’d like.

Advice and Techniques

  • Ingredients at Room Temperature: For a smoother batter and frosting, make sure your cream cheese, egg, and buttermilk are at room temperature.
  • Avoid Overmixing: If the batter is overworked, dense cupcakes may arise. Blend until barely mixed.
  • When a toothpick put into the centre of a cupcake comes out clean or with a few crumbs but not moist batter, the cupcake is considered done.

Changes

  • Chocolate Chip Cheesecake: To give a little surprise, fold in 1/4 cup micro chocolate chips into the cheesecake filling.
  • Nutty Red Velvet: To give the red velvet batter a crunch, add 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts.
  • Another Frosting: For a unique variation, try a white chocolate cream cheese frosting.
