chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese filling





















I just made my first batch of cupcakes at the new apartment! They're chocolate cupcakes with a cream cheese icing filling (with chocolate chips!) and another layer of icing on the top. These definitely satisfy my huge sweet tooth, and my roommates love me for sharing!  They're so quick to make too. Here's how I made them:

CREAM CHEESE ICING      (Recipe courtesy of www.cooks.com)
1 pkg. (8 oz.) of cream cheese
1 egg
1 tsp. of vanilla
1/3 cup of sugar
1 cup of chocolate chips

Mix the cream cheese, egg, vanilla and sugar. Stir in the chocolate chips, and then refrigerate the 
mixture while making the chocolate cake mix.

CHOCOLATE CAKE MIX
Prepare as directed. I always like Betty Crocker's Supermoist Triple Chocolate cake mix. 

In each cupcake liner, place one tablespoon of cake mix, then one teaspoon of cream cheese filling and finally, one more tablespoon of cake mix on top. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 25 minutes.

And here they are!
















And because of my ridiculous sweet tooth, I like to top the cupcakes with icing too. Voila!

  1. Wow! your cupcakes look very pretty. No doubt they are as yummy as the previous cupcakes that I tasted. I found another cupcake cookbook that I will have to show you next time I see you.
