What do you get when you combine cheese and cupcakes? An explosion of goodness that lingers in your mouth and makes you go, “Mmm.. that is good.” This recipe for cheese cupcakes reflects heaven in a nutshell for cheese and cupcakes lovers alike. It is buttery, cheesy, salty, flavorful, and awfully, awfully lovely to eat.
The cheese cupcake is dense, soft, and fluffy while the crust is cheesy with a hint of creamy and salty – just thinking about it makes me smile! This is my first time to make cheese cupcakes following the recipe from the Goldilocks Bakebook My Babe got for me. They came out real well and I’m very satisfied. Each cupcake resembles the sun, perfect for a little brightness and warmth to break the monotony of the last handful of rainy days. I think it will be very easy for these cheese cupcakes to make it to your comfort food list; they are really that good. I added glowing to the name because it radiates warmth exactly! 😀
Out of this cheese cupcakes recipe, I was able to get around 20 cupcakes, 3 oz each. The topping melted on the oven but if you want, you can always add the cheese topping later in the baking to preserve the look of the grated cheese. As for me, I did not mind the oozy, melted cheese – it is a delight actually! Similarly, mamon lovers will enjoy these cheese cupcakes for sure. It is the same goodness but with more attitude. Cheesy goodness overload indeed!
Glowing Cheese Cupcakes Recipe

hi, which brand did you use for the powdered skim milk? Can I use fresh milk instead? Thanks
i just used generic ones from the grocery store. i’m not sure if you can substitute with fresh milk, haven’t tried.

the way you descibed it as “dense, soft, and fluffy while the crust is cheesy with a hint of creamy and salty” stimulated my salivary glands.

Sigh, how I wish I could also do it as good as you do it…. sigh…. 🙂
you just have to try – i hope you do, it will be fun.
I will, Princess! And I hope it would be edible!
don’t worry. i’ve eaten successes and failures. just do it and don’t over think it. if you over think it you’ll screw it up. if you fail, just destroy all evidence and try again! 😀
“just do it and don’t over think it. if you over think it you’ll screw it up. if you fail, just destroy all evidence and try again!”
I would rather apply this in managing my life than in baking cupcakes hihihi… much much applicable, Prinsesa!
then go for it!
I will!, Messy it would be, but I think its worth it… 🙂
good luck!
