How to Make Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Cupcakes

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, cream together 1 (8 ounce) package of softened cream cheese, 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 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, 3/4 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder.
  5. Gradually add 1/2 cup buttermilk to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold the wet ingredients (from step 2) into the dry ingredients (from step 4) until just combined.
  7. Fill each cupcake liner about 3/4 full with the batter. Spoon 1-2 teaspoons of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each cupcake.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cupcakes cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, dust generously with powdered sugar and enjoy!
