Chocolate Cake Batter:
- Sift all of the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Combine the wet ingredients and mix into the dry ingredients until thoroughly blended, about 2 minutes. The batter will be thin. Refrigerate until ready to use.
-
Cream Cheese Topping:
- Beat the cream cheese then add the sugar, salt and the egg and blend with electric mixer until smooth. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Using a small cookie scoop, fill all of the prepared baking cups approximately 3/4 full with the chocolate cake mixture. Drop about a 1/2 teaspoon of the cream cheese filling on the centre of each cupcake. Bake for about 10 - 12 minutes or until they spring back. Make sure the cheese filling stays white--do not over bake.
- Cool the cupcakes on a rack then refrigerate.
- Yield depends on the size of the paper cups. Can also be baked in larger cups, simply adjust the cooking time.

One of my favourite desserts- a great find! It can be a bit time consuming to make but it's worth it. They are the perfect bite size dessert for any occasion. I've frozen them in the past and they taste just as good once thawed. Best if eaten fresh with great company! -
These bite size treats look good and taste great. The recipe made a big batch so I froze some. I loved having delicious homemade treats ready to go in the freezer.
