I mis-proportioned the filling in each cupcake, but they still tasted great! I tried to add some raspberries to the filling, frost them and put a raspberry on top...next time I'd add more raspberries to the filling, I didn't do enough, but they still looked and tasted great!

Yummy! I like my sweets with as little sugar possible without sacrificing the taste so I think this recipe is on the sweet side. Next time I'll use no more than 1.5 cups of sugar. Most of the sweetness comes from the filling and for me that's enough. The cupcake doesn't need to be as sweet. "A heaping teaspoonful" of the cream cheese mixture wouldn't have been enough if I had followed the directions. The filling has a consistency slightly thicker than milk. I used 2 - 3 teaspoons each. You could probably go up to 4 teaspoons. I used only the egg whites and that turned out to be a great decision because the filling comes out looking white, not off-white or lightish yellow like I see in some of the photos. So what I got were sort of black and white cupcakes that I think look really neat. I also used a toothpick to swirl the filling on top.

Very tasty. I wish the 'surprise' would of went down more into the middle of the cupcake. But still very good. I topped with cream cheese frosting.

i agree with somebody that said that she has made many good recipes from this site but this is the first recipe that totally deserves the effort of writing a review......these cupcakes are AMAZING and were a hit among my friends! i didn't change a thing and the result were 22 amazingly moist and delicious cupcakes. I would even say the recipe is absolutely fool-proof because i left one batch in the oven for like 35 minutes and they were still moist and yummy!! i would just half the recipe of the filling because you would need two batches of the chocolate mix to get to use all the filling. I will be making these cupcakes again and again!!

I was just looking for a simple chocolate cupcake recipe and fell upon this one! I didn't do the cream cheese center and these turned out wonderful! Not extremely sweet nor over the top chocolaty. They're quite perfect. :) I even noticed that this was eggless. A nice vegan recipe. I think next time I will even substitute apple sauce for the vegetable oil to make it even lower in fat!

Great recipe! I noticed that the cake recipe is vegan, so I wanted to try a vegan-friendly filling. I diced up some strawberries and added them to each cup before baking. My friends loved them so much I didn't even get to taste one! They're really good without any filling at all, too!

I just made these last night and they're yummy! However, I didn't expect the batter to be so runny and kept mixing (for fear of loads of flour unmixed at the bottom of the mixing bowl). I think that might have contributed to a less fluffy and light cupcake. The chocolate flavour however was fab! The cheese filling seemed a little too much - I had to put less than a tablespoon of the filling into each cupcake.

Hey gang, this recipe makes me think of canolli. What if we were to use mascarpone as the filling in stead of the cream cheese? I'd love to hear back on that one.

These are very delicious chocolate cupcakes. No need to alter the recipe. When I first made them for someone they thought I purchased them from a bakery.

It wasn't bad but maybe I should have made the in cupcakes... I made one big cake hoping it'd turn out kind of like marble cake. The filling wasn't enough or maybe I didn't do a good job. Most of filling got mixed with chocolate cake....

amazing recipe. the first time I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out good but the second time I made some changes to make it better . 1- I used 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1 +1/2 cup white sugar. 2- one cup of fat free milk instead of one cup of water. 3- used 1/3 less fat cream cheese , I think I`ll use the fat free the next time .- added 1/4 cup more of cocoa powder, 5- I added the cream cheese mixture on top of the cupcakes then added just 1 TBS of the cake mixture , then I used the knife on the cupcake surface to make it like marble .

These really didn't pack the punch that I had hoped-- perhaps I am used to baking with melted chocolate, not cocoa-- and I was also suspicious of adding 2 cups of water (instead of milk). How do they taste? Like cupcakes made with cocoa, not melted chocolate, and made with water, not milk. Even a cake mix has more flavor than these.

These were excellent! I didn't change anything. I did make a chocolate ganache to dip the tops in, but the cupcakes didn't really need it. Will definitely make again!

I really like these cupcakes. I made it according to recipe, though instead of vinegar I used lemon juice (which worked out fine). I was about to give up on them halfway because the batter takes ages to spoon into the tins without getting batter all over the kitchen, but after making the first batch I quickly finished up the rest. They have a rich chocolate taste and the cream cheese filling gives it just the right contrast. Very yummy. I also only baked them for about 20 minutes. Next time I'd probably halve the ingredients (I got 36 cupcakes, could easily have made over 40 as there was remaining batter). I'd also try to find real cupcake tins - we don't really have that kind of baking items in Denmark that I've seen. It might make them easier to make!
