How to Make Chocolate Cheesecake Cupcakes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease generously.
  2. In a medium bowl, cream together 1 large egg, 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1/3 cup granulated sugar, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy.
  3. Gently fold in 1/2 cup chocolate chips.
  4. In a separate large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  5. Add 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon white vinegar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about 1/3 full with the chocolate batter.
  7. Drop a heaping tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of each cupcake.
  8. Bake for 20-25 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. Frost and decorate as desired!
