fluffy cupcakes

Hello there!
Today, I would like to share to you another recipe.
Cupcakes!
Cupcakes are ideal for any occasion right? Well, Christmas is fast approaching and I think cupcakes are best to give to your friends, boyfriend and even to your mom’s kumares. You can arrange it to a basket or a box with your message for them. I’m sure they will appreciate it ‘coz you made it personally. 

Filling:
2 packs cream cheese
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips




Cupcakes:
1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
1 tsp. baking soda
1 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tbsp. vinegar
1 tsp. vanilla

1. Heat oven to 350˚F. Place paper baking cups in each of 18 regular-size muffin cups. In small bowl, mix all filling ingredients except chocolate chips until well blended. Stir in chocolate chips; set aside.

2. In large bowl, mix flour, 1 cup sugar, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Beat in remaining cupcake ingredients with electric mixer on medium speed in 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Divide the batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each half full.

3. Top batter in each cup with 1 rounded tablespoon filling. If desired, in small bowl, mix topping ingredients; sprinkle evenly filling.

4. Bake 20 to 30 minutes or until filling is light golden brown. Cool for 15 minutes; remove from muffin cups. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Store in the refrigerator.

Note: High altitude (3500-6500 ft.): Heat oven to 375˚F. Increase flour to 1 & ½ cups plus 2 tbsp. Bake 25 to 35 minutes.
