Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon cake flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 3 large egg whites
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons red velvet emulsion

  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon table salt
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  1. Make the Cream Cheese Filling: Mix cream cheese, egg yolk, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Spoon dollops onto a plate and freeze.
  2. Make the Crumb Topping: Combine cake flour, sugar, butter, and salt until flour is coated.
  3. Preheat the Oven: Set oven to 425°F. Grease a muffin pan and line it with paper liners.
  4. Prepare the Muffin Batter: Beat together butter, oil, and brown sugar until creamy. Add egg whites, vanilla, and red velvet emulsion.
  5. Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, combine dry ingredients. Gradually add the dry mix and buttermilk to the wet mixture.
  6. Fold in Heavy Cream: Beat heavy cream and gently fold it into the batter.
  7. Fill Muffin Cups: Fill muffin cups halfway, add frozen cream cheese filling, top with more batter and crumb topping.
  8. Bake: Bake at 425°F for 6 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350°F and continue baking for 18-22 minutes. Check doneness with a toothpick.
  9. Cool Muffins: Let muffins cool before removing from the pan.

Notes

Make sure cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing. Freezing the cream cheese filling helps maintain its shape. Use high-quality cocoa powder and red velvet emulsion for best flavor.
