Ingredients
- 8 ounces (226g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1/3 cup (67g) plus 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
- 1 cup (177g) miniature chocolate chips
- 1 & 1/2 cups (180g) all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup (21g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm water
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 12-cup muffin tins with cupcake liners.
- Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the cream cheese, egg, and 1/3 cup sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes). Stir in the chocolate chips. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 cup sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Make a well in the center, and add the water, oil, vinegar, and vanilla. Mix just until blended.
- Fill each muffin cup one-third full with the chocolate batter. Top with a spoonful of cream cheese mixture, until the cups are about two-thirds full. Bake, one pan at a time, 22 to 28 minutes, or until the tops spring back lightly when touched.
- Cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool completely.
