Very nice cupcakes. I made a cream cheese frosting to put on top, makes them look a lot better.

Been making these for years.... add miniature choc chips to the cream cheese center. People always ask where you bought them!

I have been making this exact same recipe for over 40 years. It is always a favorite. I use mini chocolate chips when I bake mini cupcakes and regular size for regular ones. To really fancy these up, sprinkle with a little granulated sugar and slivered almonds before baking. We have always called these Black Bottom Cupcakes. Also with no egg in the chocolate batter the cholesterol in this recipe in very low.

Have had a similar recipe for years. Easier way to make them. Just use a dark chocolate cake mix and drop the cream cheese mixture by teaspoonful into the batter after putting into cups. Can be done as minis or regular sized cupcakes. Frost with cream cheese frosting. A huge hit with everyone I've made them for.

I baked them for 13 minutes but reduced the oven temperature to 325F due to the sugar substitute I used. They are very tasty.

If these are minature cupcakes, should they be cooked as long as full sized cupcakes? The cupcake thread on cake central recommends mini's to be baked 9 minutes.
