I just finished up in the kitchen...third night in a row. I am seriously considering finding a sweets anonymous group...I really think I need help! HAHA
What I baked tonight was my aunt's self-filled cupcakes. MMMM with buttercream frosting.
They are yellow cake mix cupcakes with a chocolate chip cheesecake filling...with homemade chocolate buttercream frosting (recipe to follow).
Like I told Annette in an IM post a few moments ago....."I just made the best cupcakes. OMG! I haven't had them since I was a kid...they turned out SO good....I swear...I'm considering marrying it.... :)"
My aunt made these for my birthday parties. I remember them being good, but I didn't realize you could feel LIKE THAT from a cupcake! The only dessert that has made me feel that good (before now) has been the walnut hot fudge cake with ice cream, hot fudge, and whipped cream from Blossom Deli in Downtown Charleston....
So, try this recipe...It will amaze any baker...and any guest. (It's SO easy!)
Self-Filled Cupcakes
1 pkg yellow cake mix
1 8 oz package cream cheese
1/3 cup sugar
1 egg
1 6 oz pkg chocolate chips (I use mini semi sweet)
Mix the cake mix according to pkg directions. Place paper cupcake liners in muffin tins. Fill liners 2/3 full with cake batter.
Cream togteher cream cheese and sugar. Beat in egg with a dash of salt. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop one rounded tsp of cheese filling into each cupcake (on top of batter). Bake according to pkg directions.
Makes 30. Frost with Buttercream Frosting.
Buttercream Frosting
