• 1 Large egg
• 0.33 Cups white sugar
• 0.125 Teaspoons (tsp) salt
• 1 Cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 1.5 Cups all-purpose flour, sifted
• 1 Cups white sugar
• 0.25 Cups cocoa powder, sifted

• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) salt
• 1 Cups water
• 0.33 Cups vegetable oil
• 1 Tablespoons (tbsp) distilled white vinegar
• 1 Teaspoons (tsp) vanilla extract

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly butter or line muffin tins with paper liners and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, egg, 0.33 cups of sugar, and 0.125 tsp of salt until smooth. Stir in the chocolate chips and set aside.
3. In a large bowl, sift together the flour, 1 cup of sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and 0.5 tsp of salt.
4. Add the water, vegetable oil, vinegar, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Beat until the batter is smooth and well combined. The batter will be thin.
5. Fill each muffin cup 1/3 full with the chocolate batter. Top each with a generous spoonful of the cream cheese mixture.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the chocolate part comes out clean.
7. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
