Black Bottom Cupcakes...no frosting required!

This is a family favorite.
I originally got the recipe from a friend in San Fransico
Cupcake batter:
1 1/2 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup cocoa
1 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 Tbl cider vinegar
1 tsp vanilla
Combine dry ingredients; then add liquid ingredients. Mix until smooth. Fill paper-lined cupcake pan wells about 1/2 full.
Filling:
8 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
1 egg
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Mix first three ingredients until smooth, then stir in chocolate chips.
Add one heaping teaspoon of filling mixture to each cupcake batter cup. Bake at 350 degrees for about 23 minutes or until cheese filling starts to get a little color. Cool before serving. Do not add frosting. You may dust with powdered sugar if you like!
