Cream Cheese Chocolate Cupcakes

  Hi everyone! Did you all forget about me? Probably. You're probably wondering I haven't posted in so long. Ten days to be exact. Well the day after my last post I got very sick. And by sick, I mean a fever so high I could barely stand. After that I had terrible tonsillitis. It was so bad that I was up to 6 Advils a day to bring down the swelling.

  So now that you know why I abandoned you, you're probably wondering what kind of beautiful treat I have in store. Keeping in mind that this is my 100 views post and I promised something special.

  This has been my favorite cheesecake ever since I tasted it for the first time and I personally guarantee that if you like cheesecake or chocolate cake, you will love these cupcakes. They are moist and chocolatey with a creamy filling and just enough peanut butter to accent the taste. You can eat these for any meal or snack.

 

  Ingredients:

Filling:

1 package cream cheese

1/3 cup sugar

1 egg

1/8 teaspoon salt

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

1 cup peanut butter chips

Cake:

1 cup sugar

1 cup water

1/3 cup canola oil

1 tablespoon white vinegar

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 1/2 cup all purpose flour

1/4 cup cocoa

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/3 teaspoon salt

 

Directions:

1. For the filling mix together, in a bowl with high sides, the cream cheese, sugar, egg, and salt.

2. Beat vigorously until it has achieved the consistency of mayonnaise. (I put mine in a blender to help with this.)

3. Add the chocolate and peanut butter chips and set aside.

4. For the cake, mix together the sugar, water, canola oil, vinegar, and vanilla in a large bowl.

5. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt.

6. Add to the wet mixture and stir until no lumps remain.

7. Fill paper lined muffin trays half full with cake batter. 8. Top each with an 1/8 cup of the cream cheese filling.

9. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes.

 

Little tips from me:

  For the perfect cake to filling ratio, mix together two recipes of cream cheese for every three recipes of cake batter.
