Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 0.3333 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Mini chocolate chips
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Water
- 0.3333 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp White vinegar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a medium-sized bowl, prepare the cream cheese filling by combining the cream cheese and 1/3 cup granulated sugar. Mix until smooth.
Add the egg to the cream cheese mixture and blend until fully incorporated. Then fold in the mini chocolate chips. Set the filling aside.
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another medium bowl, whisk together the water, vegetable oil, vinegar, and vanilla extract.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring just until combined. Do not overmix.
Divide the chocolate batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Top each cupcake with a generous tablespoon of the cream cheese filling, ensuring that some batter is still visible around the edges.
Bake in the preheated oven for 23-25 minutes, or until the cheesecake filling is set and the chocolate portion is puffed up slightly.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
