Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 third-cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Water
• 0.3 cup Vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon White vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 0.3 cup Granulated sugar (for cream cheese filling)
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Mini chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Add the water, vegetable oil, vinegar, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until the batter is smooth and well combined. Set aside.

Step 4

In a separate medium-sized bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and granulated sugar (for the filling). Beat with a hand mixer until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Add the egg to the cream cheese mixture and mix until well incorporated. Stir in the mini chocolate chips.

Step 6

Spoon the chocolate batter into each muffin liner, filling them about halfway full.

Step 7

Add a heaping tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture to the center of each muffin cup, ensuring the cream cheese sinks slightly into the chocolate batter.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-27 minutes, or until the edges of the chocolate cake are set and a toothpick inserted near the side of the muffins comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the black bottoms to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve and enjoy! These can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
