Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a mixer or processor, whip cream cheese with lemon juice and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Beat in eggs one at a time until well combined.
- Add milk and melted butter, and mix until the batter is smooth.

Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, be careful not to overmix the batter once you add the dry ingredients. If you don't have cake flour, you can substitute with all-purpose flour by removing 2 tablespoons of flour per cup and adding 2 tablespoons of cornstarch. For a fun twist, try adding some lemon zest for an extra burst of flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know when the muffins are done baking?
To check if the muffins are done, insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean or with just a few crumbs, they are ready. If there's wet batter on the toothpick, give them a few more minutes in the oven.
