- Add 1 cup vegetable oil, 1 cup water, 2 tablespoons white vinegar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
- Fill cupcake liners about ⅔ full with batter.
- In a separate bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1 large egg, ⅓ cup granulated sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt until light and fluffy.
- Stir in ½ cup chocolate chips into the cream cheese mixture.
- Drop 1 heaping teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture onto the top of each cupcake batter.
