The World’s Best Cupcake Recipe!

WORLD’S BEST CUPCAKE RECIPE:
Chocolate Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Filling

(This recipe is from John at the University of Toronto by way of Shelly at Carleton University).

FILLING:
1 8-oz pkg cream cheese
1 6-oz pkg chocolate chips
1 egg
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 tsp salt

Blend cheese, egg, sugar and salt. Add chips and set aside.

CUPCAKE BATTER

1 1/2 cups sifted flour
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1 Tbsp vinegar
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup water
1/3 cup oil (Crisco)
1 tsp vanilla

Blend in bowl. Fill large paper-lined muffin cups with batter to 1/3 full. Drop 1 heaping teaspoon of cheese mixture into each. Make the cheese mixture come out even. (Depending on how the teaspoon of filling is placed in the batter will determine if the filling is visible when the cupcake is done).

Bake at 350 F for 20-25 minutes.
