Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.3 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon White vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Water
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 large Egg
- 0.3 cup Granulated sugar (for filling)
- 0.5 cup Mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add the vegetable oil, vinegar, vanilla extract, and water to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth and fully combined. Set the batter aside.
In a separate medium bowl, beat the cream cheese, egg, and sugar together until smooth and creamy.
Fold the mini chocolate chips into the cream cheese mixture.
Spoon the chocolate batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
Add a dollop (about 1 tablespoon) of the cream cheese filling on top of each cupcake batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the chocolate portion of the cupcake comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cupcakes at room temperature or chilled. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
