Suprise Cup Cakes #2

Filling:
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg
pinch of salt
6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips

Chocolate Cupcakes:
3 cups flour
2 cups sugar
6tablespoons cocoa
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
¾ cup vegetable oil
2 cups water

Mix filling ingredients together in a small bowl; set aside. For chocolate cupcakes, combine first 5 ingredients in a large bowl. Gradually add next 4 liquid ingredients and beat for 2 minutes at medium speed.

Use cupcake liners in muffin tins and fill ½ full with batter. Crop ½ tablespoonful of filling in cups then cover with more batter (each cup should be 2/3 to ¾ full). Bake at 375 degrees for 14 – 18 minutes.
