Chocolate Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Filling~posted by Lisa in MN

These are chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese filling – kind of like those nasty ones we ate as children but made delicious with this recipe!

3 cups all-purp flour (I used 1C ww/2C white)
2 cups white sugar
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp salt
2 tsp baking soda
2/3 cup oil
2 cup water
2 Tbls vinegar
2 tsp vanilla

Filling:
8 oz cream cheese softened
1 egg
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup choco-chips

350ยบ 25 minutes – 24 cupcakes

The original recipe filled cups with chocolate then dolloped filling on top. I went chocolate, creamy filling, then more chocolate on top – this was the key to having that yummy creamy center.
I made these for dds birthday party and the kids loved them. That wa great because then I didn’t end up eating all of them ๐Ÿ™‚
I will also say they taste better the second day. Also I generally add more choco chips than any recipe requests, but the amount of choco chips in the filling is perfect.
Enjoy!
