Cupcake Batter Ingredients:
3 cups All-purpose Flour
2 cups Granulated Sugar
2 tsp. Baking Soda
1 tsp. Salt
1/3 cup Dutch-process Cocoa
2/3 cup Vegetable Oil
2 cups cool Water
2 Tbs. White Vinegar

Cupcake Filling Ingredients:

Recipe
Pre-heat the oven to 350-F degrees and place cupcake papers or foil in two large cupcake tins.
In a large mixing bowl, blend together the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, cocoa, oil, water, vinegar, and vanilla. Beat together until a smooth batter is formed.
In a separate mixing bowl, blend together the softened cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, egg, and salt. Blend until a smooth batter is formed, and then fold in the chocolate chips.
Fill each well of the cupcake tins about two-thirds full with the cupcake batter, then drop one tablespoon of the filling into the center of each cupcake.
Bake the prepared tins for about 25 minutes. Be sure to cool on a wire rack. Best if refrigerated until served. Enjoy! (Makes about 3 dozen Cupcakes)
