Recipe: Orange Ooze Cupcakes [edit]

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line muffin tins with paper cupcake liners.

Step 2

In small mixing bowl, use electric mixer to combine cream cheese, egg and sugar. Blend in 2 drops yellow food coloring and 1 drop red food coloring, adding more coloring if necessary to reach desired shade. Use mixing spoon to stir in chocolate chips; set filling aside.

Step 3

In large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda and salt; set aside.

Step 4

In second small mixing bowl, combine water, vegetable oil, vinegar and vanilla. Add contents of small mixing bowl to large mixing bowl and stir with mixing spoon to combine.

Step 5

Using mixing spoon or soup spoon, fill cupcake liners half full with cupcake batter, then place 1 teaspoon filling at center of each. As cupcake bakes, the batter will rise to surround the filling.

Step 6

Place cupcake pans in oven and bake approximately 25 minutes or until cupcakes test done.

Step 7

If desired, frost with orange icing-or just let the orange filling ooze out as a surprise.
