Very moist, to make it better add more chocolate chips and vanilla extract to the filling. Once cupcakes are cool, top with a homemade cream cheese frosting. I omitted the strawberries.

 Shannon (Wisconsin) says:
Great recipe! I did make a couple of adjustments, I used cake flour instead, I used milk instead of water and like Sherrie had suggested I used more chocolate chips and added vanilla to the filling. I did get 18 cupcakes out of the 6 cupcake recipe but I wish I would of used the 12 cup cake filling recipe instead of the one for 6. They turned out very moist and tasty.

Yeppers, the 12 cupcake recipe makes 24 cupcakes, unless you use VERY LARGE cupcake tins.

 Kristen (Missouri) says:
Very tasty and easy to make! I did the 12 recipe and ended up with 36 mini cupcakes and extra batter but like I said they were mini and I did a homemade buttercream frosting it was great! Also I left out the chocolate chips in the filling because I was worried it would be too rich

After reading your recipe, I knew I had to try it! I made them this afternoon & I have to say they are delicious!! I was a little uncertain of the filling, but after eating my first bite I knew it makes the cupcake even better than a plain one! I made a few changes to the filling by adding some finely chopped walnuts. I didn't have chocolate chips, so I chopped up some chocolate kisses. After icing the cupcakes with chocolate butter cream frosting I sprinkled some coconut on top, some I sprinkled with more of the chopped walnuts. I'm taking them to a family party & I know they'll be a big hit! Your recipe is wonderfully moist & I will definitely be making these again!

I made these cupcakes this morning and they are delicious! I was concerned because I didn't have the hard brick-type cheese, only softer spreadable, but it still worked. I also like the fact that if you didn't want to put the chocolate chip cream cheese filling in (my grandson is lactose intolerant) the cake part is dairy free and deliciously moist on its own.

 Victoria (Alabama) says:
Hubby and I had sweet tooth and so we decided to search for a recipe from scratch and we came across this. Surprisingly it turn out so good, gosh we loved it a lot. It was easy to make, we didn't add the strawberries because the strawberries we had were frozen and we were little skeptical about it. The 6 cups turned into 12 cups because our cupcake pan was small but it turn out really good. Loved it!! We will definitely make it again. :)
