Cream Cheese Cheddar Pound Cupcake

It seems like my baking has slowed down in the recent weeks. Some of the ingredients were half used since the last bake. So I decided to use up those remaining ingredients. This was what I made with the remaining ingredients - Double Cheese-Cream & Cheddar Pound (Cup)Cake. The cupcake was dense but moist and fluffy.
