Today I'm going to share with you a delicious and easy cupcake recipe.  It was one of my favorites as a little girl.  Here we go!

Surprise Cupcakes

Ingredients:

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1 tsp. white vinegar

1 cup water

1 tsp. vanilla

1 1/2 cup flour

1/4 cup cocoa

1 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. salt

1 cup sugar

Filling:

1 egg, unbeaten

1 cup chocolate chips

8 oz. cream cheese, softened

1/3 cup sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Mix all cupcake ingredients together and blend until smooth.  In a separate bowl, blend filling ingredients together.  Line or spray a muffin tray.

Fill muffin cups 1/3 full with cupcake batter,

drop in a large spoonful of filling

and cover with a spoonful of cupcake batter.  Bake for 25 minutes.  This recipe makes 24 cupcakes.  Or you can do them in a mini muffin pan for parties!

And there you have it-a simple, delish desert!
