Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Prepare the cream cheese filling by combining cream cheese, egg yolk, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Blend until smooth and creamy, then freeze for 30 minutes.
- Make the crumb topping by mixing cake flour, granulated sugar, softened butter, and a pinch of salt until crumbly.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and prepare a muffin pan with grease and paper liners.
- In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, vegetable oil, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add egg whites and stir in vanilla extract and red velvet emulsion.
- Whisk together dry ingredients: cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
- Alternately add dry ingredients and buttermilk to the butter mixture, mixing carefully until just combined.
- Whip heavy cream until thick, then gently fold it into the muffin batter.
- Fill muffin cups halfway with batter, place frozen cream cheese filling in the center, then cover with remaining batter.
- Sprinkle crumb topping over each muffin cup evenly.
- Bake at 425°F for 6 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350°F (176°C) and bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
Use full-fat cream cheese for the best flavor and ensure cream cheese filling is frozen before baking to prevent melting.
