Ingredients




8 ounces Cream Cheese -- softened
1 Egg
 cup White Sugar
Yellow and red Food Coloring
6 ounces Milk Chocolate Chips
3 cups Flour
2 cups White Sugar
1/2 cup Cocoa
2 teaspoons Baking Soda
1/2 teaspoon Salt
2 cups Water
1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp. Vegetable Oil
2 tablespoons Cider Vinegar
2 teaspoons Vanilla

Preparation

1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and line muffin tins with paper cupcake liners. 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. 3 In large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda and salt; set aside. 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. 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. 6 Place cupcake pans in oven and bake approximately 25 minutes or until cupcakes test done. 7 If desired, frost with orange icing-or just let the orange filling ooze out as a surprise.
