CHEESE CUPCAKES

Nothing beats bakery-style cupcakes as the best snack during our recess period at school. It has been the all-time favorite baon for elementary students during my time. This small packaged cakes are not too sweet but are moist, buttery, and is crown with a gorgeous amount of grated cheese. The individual portion size is just enough to make you full and satisfied.

Cupcakes are one of my happy foods. Maybe it’s the happy memories I associate with it makes me happy. Writing this blog is so nostalgic and my eyes are so close to crying. I’ve been having flashes of memories with my old schoolmates while we go together to the bakery next to our school and enjoy this soft treat.

Me and my classmates were about to celebrate our reunion but then the pandemic happened. I still want to celebrate it with them via zoom meeting and prepared my own version of cheese cupcakes to make them jealous and hungry. I tried copying Ate Bebs’s version of cheese cupcakes. She’s the one who bakes the pastries from the bakery next to our school.

As the name suggests, cupcakes are small cups of cakes. A unique feature of the Western-type cupcakes is the icing. With the cheesy, buttery and creamy flavor of the classic Pinoy cheese cupcakes, icing is not needed. By just topping it with cheddar cheese, our cheese cupcakes are truly a #PinoyPride.

Inspired by Ate Bebs’s cupcakes, I did several trials to make the perfect cheese cupcake recipe. To achieve the soft and fluffy cheese cupcakes, simply follow the recipe below. The quantity of the ingredients below are proven and tested and there’s nothing to worry about. Ate Bebs’s cheese cupcake has cheese strips on top just like what I did in this recipe, but you can use a grated quick melt cheese for a cheesier look.

HOW TO MAKE CHEESE CUPCAKES

Making these small goodness of cheese cupcakes are very easy. Simply make the cupcake batter by mixing all the ingredients in a large bowl. Make sure to sift the powdered ingredients to ensure no lumps. Do not substitute sugar with condensed milk. This specific ingredient gives the right level of sweetness and a hint of milky flavor in the cupcake.

To give that cheese sarap overload, let’s add some cheese cubes in our batter. Who wouldn’t want mini chunks of cheese on every bite? Instead of cheese cubes, you can also try using grated cheese!

The last thing to do is to bake these sweet and cheesy cupcakes. Grab your muffin pan and place some cupcake liners. If you have no muffin pan, you can use your regular baking pan and simply arrange the liners. Pour cupcake batters up to ¾ of the liners. The cupcakes will expand later so let’s give them some space. Top the batter with some grated cheese or cheese strips for that crumbly cheesy topping.  

After baking the cheese cupcakes, they are ready to go. Enjoy your sweet and cheesy cupcakes and share some with your friends and family.

Aside from personal consumption, you can make a large batch of it and pack them into boxes. Happy cooking!
