Ingredients:
1 8-ounce package cream cheese |
1 large egg |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1/4 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips |
1 cup all purpose flour |
3 tablespoons sifted unsweetened cocoa powder |
3/4 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt |
1/8 teaspoon baking soda |

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature |
2 large eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped, melted, warm |
1/2 cup whole milk |
Directions:
1. For filling: Using electric mixer, beat cream cheese in medium bowl. Add egg, sugar, salt, and vanilla and beat until almost smooth. Fold in chocolate chips.
2. For cupcakes: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line standard muffin pan with 12 paper liners. Whisk first 5 ingredients in small bowl. Using electric mixer, beat sugar and butter in large bowl until fluffy. Beat in eggs. Stir in vanilla and chocolate; beat at high speed 5 seconds. Beat in flour mixture alternately with milk. Beat on high for 5 seconds to blend. Divide batter among cups, filling 1/3 full. Using tablespoon, hollow out center of each cupcake. Place 1 heaping tablespoonful cream cheese filling in each center.
