Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 320°F (160°C) and line your muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, milk, and unsalted butter. Beat for about 3-4 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  3. Gradually add in the egg yolks, continuing to beat for an additional 2-3 minutes until well-combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until soft peaks form, about 4-5 minutes.
  5. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cream cheese mixture in three additions.
  6. Sift the all-purpose flour and salt directly into the batter and mix gently.
  7. Pour the batter into the lined muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
