I hoped to follow this recipe exactly as written, but I didn't have any cake mix at hand. I did have a box of brownie mix, so I used that and went by the more cake-like brownie instructions that called for the use of 3 eggs instead of 2. I also added a couple of tablespoons of milk to the batter. I made the cream cheese portion as instruction but mixed it in a food processor and let it blend long enough for the mixture to really thicken. I put a tablespoon of the brownie batter into each cup with 2 tablespoons of cheese mixture on top then filled the rest o the cups to the rims with brownie batter. I had a small amount of brownie batter left over. I let bake for half an hour. They came out looking like a mosaic cupcake rather than a filled one. Nonetheless, this got great reviews, both unfrosted and with milk chocolate frosting.

This cake tastes like any other great chocolate cake, which is why it's absolutely fabulous. No eggs, super easy and quick, and it tastes like you spent the entire afternoon making it. I tried it once with cake flour and it was so moist like it came out of a mix. It's what I always make now when I'm having guests and am pressed for time. This will be the only chocolate cake I ever make.
