These turned out excellent. The chocolate cake portion was very moist. I wondered how that would turn out given the ingredients. I used the Whipped Cream Cream Cheese frosting from this site. It goes great on top of these cupcakes flavor-wise but in my opinion had a little too runny a texture. (could have been something I did wrong perhaps) I am taking these to a party tomorrow and am sure they'll be a hit! I plan to make these again for sure!

I don't know if my rating of this is entirely fair, since I used a diff. cake recipe for the "black bottom" part, and I must say in doing so I didn't have any trouble with them sticking to the papers. I can see why the recipe only wants you to fill the lines 1/3 full of batter, they rise so much! I probably used 2-3 tablespoons of cream cheese per each (using the ziploc bag sugg) and a spoonful of cherry pie filling on the very top before baking. It not only makes them delicious, but very pretty too. Will make again for sure as everyone was impressed only next time I will double the cream cheese mixture and make 24 cupcakes!

Taste great, but I have to make another batch because the cupcake liners stuck to the cupcakes and it is one big mess! Cannot take to the party tomorrow. I don't know a solution, I'm in the process of experimenting..uggh Use coffee instead of water!

Wonderful!! I used the tip from another reader and put the filling in a zip lock bag and squeezed it into the center of each cupcake. I think this made it easier to get the filling down into the bottom of the cupcakes. I also frosted these with the whipped cream cheese frosting from this site. I thought it might be too sweet, but the frosting is so light that it makes these perfect. I got RAVE reviews from family and co-workers!

This is one recipe which will be in my repertoire for years to come! It turned out so moist and the contrast in tastes was sublime. I substituted the sugar with brown sugar and used shaved white chocolate instead of chocolate chips. The recipe can be doubled as there was excess cream cheese topping (which I used up anyway, yum!)

These were tasty...especially a day or two later. The cupcakes were more moist and flavorful the longer they sat (within reason!) Definitely an uncommon treat.

I thought they were ok. I'm a chocolate lover and to me they didn't seem to have much flavor. Although my husband and son loved them. I'll keep this in my recipe box but i think i'm going to keep looking for the perfect recipe!

My mom made these when I was a child. She put them in the mini muffin tins and they were alway the "wow, who made these", at any function. One of my friends uses them in her bakery/catering business and they are the best sellers. The chocolate portion is soooo rich and chocolatey. My favorite sweet recipe. Just AWESOME!

A very decadent, chocolately cupcake. It has a taste that reminds me of chocolate chip cheesecake but is a lot faster, easier, and cheaper. I made as-written but might even experiment with the amount of cocoa in the batter, to make it a little less chocolately for my own tastes. But as-is these are fantastic, and I would reach for this recipe to wow people with. Thanks for sharing :)

I loved them. The perfect cupcake because they are not too sweet. The cream cheese filling is so good was i using it a little too sparingly on the first few cupcakes - there is plenty of filling to fill all cupcakes sufficently.

Easy to make. But, to save time, I took a previous suggestion of baking in a cake pan. Although the taste was not affected by doing this, I did find that this alters the presentation significantly. Will try again as cupcakes.

These are a hit everywhere I take them. I use the foil instead of the paper liners which help prevent the cupcake from sticking.

I made these as written. They were great; definitely for those who love chocolate. Next time I'll try QRSC100's suggestion of using coffee instead of water, or maybe some mint in the cream cheese, just for variation.

I was initially disappointed with these cupcakes - they weren't as rich and gooey as I would have liked. HOWEVER, LETTING THESE SIT OVERNIGHT IS A MUST. The next day they were rich, moist and much more flavorful. I downed three of them before I could stop myself!

My kids and co-workers gave these cupcakes rave reviews. I wanted a coffee flavor, so instead of 1 C. Water, I used 1 C. strong coffee. They were rich and dense and perfect. I especially loved the fact that they didn't need icing. That made them easy, too!
