How to Make Cheesecake Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).

  5. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  6. Beat in 1/4 cup (60ml) sour cream, 1 tablespoon of your favorite liqueur (optional), 1 teaspoon lemon zest, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

  10. While the cupcakes are baking, prepare the topping: In a small bowl, stir together 1/4 cup (60ml) sour cream and 2 tablespoons of strawberry jam.
  11. Once the cupcakes have baked for 35 minutes, spread about 2 tablespoons of the sour cream mixture over each cupcake.
  12. Bake for an additional 5 minutes.
