Strawberry cheesecake cupcakes...

Phenomenal cupcakes...seriously. These things take cupcakes to a new level! In the middle of these delicious vanilla cakes lies the most delicious strawberry cheesecake filling, and to top it off...the most amazing white chocolate icing. That may seem like a pretty exaggerative explanation...but seriously, they ARE that good!

You have to try for yourself!

Makes 12 cupcakes:

(To see this recipe in Swedish, click here)

Vanilla cupcakes:
120 g melted butter or margarine
2 eggs
180g flour (about 400ml)
1 ¼ dl milk
140 g sugar (about ¾ cup)
1 pinch salt
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla essence

Cheesecake filling:
100g cream cheese
1 egg
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence
150 ml strawberry puré (made easily by blending half frozen strawberries)

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Put cupcake liners in a muffin tray, use 6 big ones or 12 normal sixed liners.
2. Mix all the ingredients for the cupcakes in a bowl.
3. In a separate bowl, mix all the ingredients for the cheesecake (except the strawberry) until smooth. Once smooth, add the strawberry puré and stir a few times.
4. Put some batter in the liners, then about 1 tbsp cheesecake filling, and top it off with some more cupcake batter, until the liners are about ¾ fill. The cheesecake filling is quite runny so some of it comes to the top, but that just adds to the marbled effect.
5. Bake in the middle of the oven for about 20-25 minutes. Let them cool completely.
6. Top with my favourite icing (you can find the recipe here) and some fresh strawberries.

Happy baking and delicious eating!
