This is basically a recipe for Black Bottom Cupcakes, just adding dried cranberries with the chocolate chips. From Everyday Food; something I'd like to try this week. Ingredients:
3 cups flour |
2 cups sugar |
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 cups water |
2/3 cup vegetable oil |
2 tablespoons white vinegar |
1 -2 tablespoon vanilla extract (i think 1 might be enough) |
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened |
1 large egg |
1 1/3 cups sugar |
1 pinch salt |
1 cup mini chocolate chip |
1/2 cup dried cranberries |
1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350*F. Line 36 standard-size muffin cups with paper liners.
2. For the batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk toghether the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Stir in the water, oil, vinegar, and vanilla; mix just until batter is combined.
4. Fill muffin cups 1/2 full.
5. For the filling: Blend together the cream cheese, egg, 1 cup of the sugar, salt, chocolate chips, cranberries, and pecans (if using).
6. Spoon a generous tablespoons of the filling on top of the batter in each cup; sprinkle each with 1/2 teaspoons sugar.
