- 2 cups of flour (approximately 250 g)
- 1 cup of sugar (approximately 200 g)
- 1/2 cup of oil (approximately 120 ml)
- 1/2 cup of water (approximately 120 ml)
- 1 tablespoon of Inka (or cocoa)
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda (or baking powder)
- A pinch of salt
- A little vinegar (to extinguish the baking soda)
Ingredients for the Cheese Filling

- 1 egg (approximately 50 g)

Step by Step: Making the Muffins
1. Preparing the Filling
Start by preparing the cheese filling. In a bowl, add the Delaco Fine Cheese Cream, the egg, and the sugar. Use an electric mixer to combine the ingredients until you achieve a smooth and creamy mixture. Once done, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate it to firm up a bit.
2. Preparing the Dough
In another bowl, crack the two eggs and add the sugar. Mix them together until the mixture becomes frothy and a vibrant yellow. This step is essential for fluffy muffins, so don't rush! Then add the oil and water, continuing to mix. In a small container, extinguish the baking soda with a little vinegar and add it to the mixture. This reaction will help the muffins rise.
3. Sifting the Flour
Sift the flour along with a pinch of salt directly into the bowl with the egg and sugar mixture. This will ensure there are no lumps and will add air to the dough, making it fluffier. Gently mix with a spatula until the ingredients are well incorporated, being careful not to overmix.
4. Creating the Flavored Mixture
In a small bowl, take 4-5 tablespoons of the white dough and add Inka (or cocoa) to create a flavored mixture, mixing well. This will give a delicious taste and a beautiful color to your muffins.
5. Preparing the Muffin Tins
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease the two muffin tins and 3 additional molds with a little oil to prevent the muffins from sticking.
6. Assembling the Muffins
Start by pouring the white mixture into the molds, filling them halfway. Add a little of the Inka mixture on top, and then place 2 teaspoons of the cheese cream in each mold. Continue this process until all the molds are filled.
7. Baking
Place the trays in the preheated oven and let them bake for about 30 minutes. Check occasionally to ensure the muffins do not burn. You can use a toothpick to check if they are baked; if it comes out clean, the muffins are ready.
8. Cooling and Serving
After baking, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the trays for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. This is an important step, as it will prevent moisture from forming.
9. Finishing Touch
Once cooled, you can dust them with sugar, adding a touch of elegance and an extra sweet flavor. These muffins are delicious both warm and cold.
Serving Suggestions
The Inka muffins with cheese cream are perfect to be served alongside a freshly brewed cup of coffee or a fragrant tea. You can also pair them with vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert. Additionally, a caramel or chocolate sauce will turn them into a true indulgence!
