How to Make Cheesecake Filled Pumpkin Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the pumpkin puree, vanilla extract, and spices.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. For the cheesecake filling: Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in whipped cream until combined.
  7. Fill each cupcake liner about halfway with the pumpkin batter.
  8. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of cheesecake filling into the center of each cupcake.
  9. Top with the remaining pumpkin batter, ensuring the filling is mostly covered.
  10. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. Once cool, frost with your favorite cream cheese frosting (recipe not included). Enjoy!
