Recipe



Heat oven to 350°F.

Combine all filling ingredients in small bowl. Beat at medium speed,
scraping bowl often, until well mixed.

Set aside.

Combine 1 3/4 cups sugar and butter in large bowl.

Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy.

Continue beating, adding eggs one at a time, until well mixed.

Add water, melted chocolate and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Continue beating
until
well mixed. (Mixture may look curdled.)

Reduce speed to low; add flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Beat until well mixed.

For each cupcake, spoon 1 rounded tablespoon chocolate mixture into each
paper-lined cupcake cup; top with 1 tablespoon cream cheese mixture.

Spoon 1 rounded tablespoon chocolate mixture on top.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out
clean.

Let stand 5 minutes.

Remove from pans.

Cool completely.

Meanwhile, beat whipping cream and powdered sugar in small bowl at high
speed, scraping bowl often, until stiff peaks form. Gently stir in 1/2
teaspoon vanilla.

Spread about 3 tablespoons frosting onto each cupcake. Store
refrigerated.

*Substitute LAND O LAKES® Soft Baking Butter with Canola Oil right from
the refrigerator.

TIP: Refrigerate frosting for up to 4 days. If mixture softens, rewhip to
stiff peaks.

TIP: Garnish with Chocolate Filigree Hearts or as desired.
