How to Make Red Velvet Cream Cheese Swirl Cupcakes
Y’all know I love to bake from scratch when I can, but this is A Few “Shortcuts” and as much as I love baking, I used a box. ~gasp~ Yes, when it comes to red velvet cake, I use a boxed mix. It is just easier, and they taste amazing still. Especially when you doctor it up like this one.
I just followed the directions on the box for the cake batter, and filled each spot in my cupcake pan about 1/2 full. In another bowl, I mixed up the cheesecake filling and spooned about 1 1/2 to 2 tbsp on top of the batter.
Here comes the fun part. Take a butter knife and swirl the cheesecake filling top to bottom then left to right. Don’t worry if you don’t see swirls right away. That cheesecake settles during baking to reveal them. Pop the pan in a 350 oven for about 20-24 mins.
What comes out are these little bites of heaven themselves!
Frosting or Not?
I am pretty sure these are amazing just like this. But if you want to add a little something extra, I would add a little sweetened whipped cream to the top. Oh, my mercy….yep….amazing!
These cupcakes are also great with some ice cream. I feel like a typical buttercream frosting might just add too much sweetness to these already sweet cupcakes.
