Evenly divide the batter into the paper cups filling 2/3 only.

Spoon 1 tbsp of the cream cheese in the center of each cup cake( fill 1 tbsp of cream cheese and with another spoon slide the cream cheese in the center of each cupcake).
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the cream cheese filling has set or tooth pick inserted comes out clean.

The cupcakes will be puffed up once you take them out from the oven ,but as it cools the baked cream cheese will sink a bit in the center.
