This recipe was given to me from a Holden Village and/or Community of St. Martin friend (I don't remember who). Makes 12 cupcakes.

Mix until creamy:

• 8 oz. cream cheese
• 1 egg
• 1/3 C sugar
• pinch salt

Stir in 1 1/2 C semisweet chocolate chips, and set aside

Sift into medium bowl:

• 1 1/2 C flour

Stir in:

• 1 C sugar
• 1/4 C unsweetened cocoa
• 1 t soda
• 1/2 t salt

Add and mix:

• 1 C water
• 1 T vinegar
• 1/3 C vegetable oil
• 1 t vanilla extract

Divide cocoa batter evenly into a greased 12 muffin tin, put a spoonful of cream cheese mixture in the center of each future cupcake.

Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes.
