  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.

  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 until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. In a small bowl, beat together 4 ounces cream cheese (softened), ¼ cup granulated sugar, and 1 large egg until smooth and creamy.
  6. Fill each cupcake liner about ⅓ full with the chocolate batter.
  7. Drop one heaping teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each cupcake.
