Cream Cheese Chiffon Cupcakes

There is still 1/2 pack of cream cheese sitting in my fridge. I decided to make cream cheese chiffon since my first attempt wasn't too successful.


Instead of baking in my regular 8" round, I baked them in cuppies.


They rose nicely in the oven but when cooked, they deflated slightly because I didn't and couldn't turn them upside down to cool. Nevertheless, they still taste yummy! ^-^
