Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 320°F (160°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
  2. Beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Blend in milk, egg yolks, and vanilla until combined.
  3. Sift in the all-purpose flour and cornstarch, mixing gently until a smooth batter forms.
  4. Whip egg whites and salt until soft peaks form, then gradually add granulated sugar until stiff peaks develop.
  5. Fold the whipped egg whites into the cream cheese mixture in three additions using a spatula.
  6. Divide the batter into the prepared muffin liners, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, until lightly golden and slightly jiggly in the center.
  8. Allow cupcakes to cool completely in the muffin tin for about 15-20 minutes.

For best results, ensure cream cheese is at room temperature and use a clean bowl for whipping egg whites. Optional: consider a water bath for baking to maintain moisture and prevent cracking.
