How to Make Marble Chocolate Chip Cupcakes

  1. **Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling:**
  2. In a medium bowl, cream together 4 ounces (113g) of softened cream cheese and ½ cup (50g) granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
  3. Beat in 1 large egg and ⅛ teaspoon salt until well combined.
  4. Gently fold in ½ cup (60g) semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  5. Set the cream cheese filling aside.
  6. **Prepare the Cake Batter:** Prepare your favorite chocolate cake mix according to package directions. (Note: If using a box mix, follow the instructions for a standard cake, not cupcakes).
  7. **Assemble the Cupcakes:** Fill each lined muffin cup about halfway with the cake batter.
  8. Add 1 rounded tablespoon of the cream cheese filling to the center of each cupcake.
  9. Swirl the batter and filling gently with a toothpick or knife for a marbled effect.
  10. **Bake:** Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
