Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons red food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cheesecake filling)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for frosting)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake tin with cupcake liners.
  2. Whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. Mix the vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs, red food coloring, and vanilla extract until smooth. Combine the wet and dry ingredients until just mixed; don’t overmix!
  4. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full for the best rise.
  5. Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract for the cheesecake filling, whisking until fully incorporated.
  6. Add a generous spoonful of the cream cheese mixture on top of each cupcake batter, making sure it’s centered.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cupcake comes out clean. Once baked, let them cool completely in the pan.
  8. Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form, creating a luscious topping.
  9. Pipe or spread the whipped frosting on top of the cooled cupcakes. Get creative with your piping for added flair!
  10. Serve your delightful Red Velvet Cheesecake Cupcakes and enjoy the joy they bring to everyone!

Notes

Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing. Avoid skipping the cooling step to prevent the frosting from melting.
