Cake brings joy to everyone. It must be very clear by now that today’s recipe is of a cake. But the recipe is not of any basic cake; rather, it is of lemon cheesecake cupcakes.

In case you are worried by hearing all the stories of sinking cheesecake, then you can add 1-2 tablespoons of cornstarch into the cheesecake batter. This will help it to be more stable. And if you want your cheesecake to be more creamy, then add flour to the cheesecake mixture instead of cornstarch.

Lemon cheesecake cupcakes will be a delightful recipe. To make them, set the oven on preheat mode and make a crust of graham cracker crumbs and butter. Prepare the mixture of cream cheese with all the remaining ingredients. Add this mixture in the muffin tray with crust and bake them. Garnish as per needed.

This mini version of cheesecake will be delightful and flavorful. Everyone at your place will enjoy them for sure. If you love cakes, then you should definitely check out the other cake recipes that I’ve handpicked just for you.
