Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 320°F (160°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sugar, milk, and unsalted butter. Beat together for about 3-4 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  3. Gradually add the egg yolks to the cream cheese mixture, mixing for another 2-3 minutes until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk 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, ensuring not to deflate the batter.
  6. Sift the all-purpose flour and salt into the batter, mixing until just combined.
  7. Pour the batter into the lined muffin tin, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  9. Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
