How to Make Black And White Cupcakes

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with 18 cupcake liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda, ¾ teaspoon baking powder, and ¾ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk, ½ cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 cup granulated sugar until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. **For the Filling:** In a medium bowl, beat together 4 ounces of softened cream cheese, 4 tablespoons (½ stick) of unsalted butter, 2 cups powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  6. Fill each cupcake liner about halfway with the chocolate batter.
  7. Add a tablespoon of the cream cheese filling on top of each chocolate batter.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
