I wanted to do a centered filled cupcakes but my first attempted did not materialized the way I wanted it to. My supposedly centered cream cheese filling just floated at the top of the chocolate batter instead of sinking down to the middle.
I even listed down a long list of interesting cupcake fillings that I could play around with for my future baking of centered filled cupcakes.
- Nuttella
- cookie dough
- peanut butter
- strawberry cheesecake
- marshmallow
- blueberry
- cake within a cake
- pineapple
- mint
- white chocolate
The Cream Cheese Filing
I guess my first mistake was making the filling too watery. It was still watery despite putting them into the fridge for over a day. I guess it was my fault for being frugal and stingy with my cream cheese. I could have added more icing sugar to make it thicker but then it will make the filling terribly sweet.
I make two type filings. One was normal cream cheese and the other a strawberry cream cheese filling.
Ingredient
cream cheese 125g
1 large egg
2 tbsp icing sugar
2 tbsp strawberry jam
Method
Beat the above together. Half and filled two bowls with the filling.
Split mixture into two bowls. Mix one bowl with icing sugar and the other with strawberry jam.
