1 cup water

1 tsp vanilla extract

4 oz cream cheese, softened

2 Tbsp beaten egg

6 Tbsp sugar

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chip

 

1. In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa, sugar and salt.
2. In another bowl, combine water, vanilla and oil.
3. Pour liquid ingredients into dry ingredients, stir well.
4. Line muffin pan with cupcake liners.  Spoon 2 tablespoons batter into each cup.
5. Combine the cream cheese, egg, sugar and chocolate chips. Spoon 1 tablespoon filling in center of each cup.

Something we did the first time was to omit filling and instead sprinkled chocolate chips on top.  (we didn't have any cream cheese on hand)
