eve11Snipped from two separate allrecipes recipes, + slightly altered:
2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups unsweetened applesauce
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese (or neufchatel, which I used), softened
1 egg
1/3 cup white sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, using an electric mixer set on medium speed. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Blend in the vanilla extract. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the applesauce.
In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, egg, 1/3 cup sugar and salt.
Fill muffin cups 1/3 full with chocolate batter, add a heaping tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture, then cover with another layer of chocolate. Bake cupcakes in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until done.
I iced them with chocolate fudge icing, and added a garnish of Heath bar chocolate/toffee chips on the top. Some recipes call for adding semisweet chocolate morsels to the cream cheese filling -- I like them better plain.
