Step-by-Step Instructions for Red Velvet Muffins with Cream Cheese Filling
- In a mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese, one egg yolk, and powdered sugar until smooth. Scoop mixture into dollops and freeze for about 30 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, cold cubed butter, and sugar for crumb topping. Mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, oil, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg whites gradually until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together cake flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, alternating with buttermilk. Stir gently until combined.
- In another bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks. Fold into muffin batter gently to maintain lightness.
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease muffin pan. Fill each cup halfway with batter, place a frozen dollop of cream cheese in center, then top with remaining batter.
- Sprinkle crumb topping over each muffin and press down slightly.
- Bake at 425°F for 6 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350°F and bake for 18-22 minutes until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
- Allow muffins to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
