Hi. I made these tonight and they tasted delicious! I am wondering why some of my muffins had big air pockets between the top layer of the batter and the cream cheese filling? The carrot cake tasted delicious! I just wish the insides didn't have the big air pocket so they would have been prettier when you cut them open. If only some of the muffins came out that way and others didn't, I suspect that you may just have had air gaps between the batter and the cream cheese filling to begin with on those particular muffins. Next time, it might be worth a try to give your muffin tin a firm slam on the counter top before putting them into the oven. This will settle the batter over the filling and eliminate any possible air traps. ~Amy
