What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

8 ounces room temp cream cheese

2 cups sugar
2/3 cup cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda

2/3 cup oil
2 tablespoons vinegar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Cream the cream cheese and sugar. Beat in egg and salt. Stir in chocolate chips. Set the filling aside.
Mix the cake batter. Sift together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt Add water, oil, vinegar and vanilla Beat well and fill cupcake liners 3/4 full with chocolate batter. Drop about a scant teaspoon of cream cheese mixture on the top of each in the middle.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

I made these a couple days ago and they were deliciously awesome. I altered the recipe a little bit by adding 3 tsp of vanilla and 2 Tbs of espresso. I also cooked at 300 degrees instea of 350

The filling part of these was delicious, and I will use it again. But the batter did not rise, had no flavor, and was light. More cocoa could be added, but next time I will use a tried-and-true chocolate cake recipe with this filling.

Wow-completely impressed! I ADORE the Starbucks cupcakes and was thrilled with this recipe's results. My only recommendation would be to triple the cream cheese filling mixture and to do as suggested in the recipe and use half chocolate batter and half cream cheese filling in each cupcake. Also, to be more "Starbucks-like", sprinkle some extra chocolate chips on the top halfway through baking time. I used milk chocolate chips and cider vinegar to be more specific. Enjoy! Thanks for the recipe!
