Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, taking care not to overmix.

Step 8

Gently fold in the shredded cheddar cheese using a spatula until evenly distributed in the batter.

Serve the cheese cupcakes as they are or topped with a light cream cheese frosting for added decadence.
