- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda, and ¾ teaspoon salt.
- Add 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 1 cup buttermilk to the dry ingredients. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips.
- In a separate bowl, beat together 4 ounces cream cheese (softened), ¼ cup unsalted butter (softened), ½ cup powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Fill each cupcake liner about ⅓ full with the chocolate batter.
- Top each cupcake with a spoonful of the cream cheese mixture.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
