How to Make Chocolate Cheese Cups

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease and flour the cups.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat together 4 ounces (113g) softened cream cheese, 1 large egg, 1/3 cup (65g) granulated sugar, and 1/8 teaspoon salt until light and fluffy.
  3. Stir in 1/4 cup (30g) semi-sweet chocolate chips and set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 3/4 cups (210g) all-purpose flour, 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, 3/4 cup (60g) unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Make a well in the center and add 1 cup (240ml) water, 1/2 cup (120ml) vegetable oil, 1 tablespoon white vinegar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  6. Stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Fill each muffin cup about 1/3 full with the chocolate batter. Top each with a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
