1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour, unsifted
1 c. sugar
1/4 c. cocoa
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. water
5 tbsp. salad oil
1 tbsp. cider vinegar
1 tsp. vanilla
Chocolate Chip Filling (directions follow)
About 1/3 c. finely chopped walnuts

In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, cocoa, soda and salt. In another container, beat together the water, oil vinegar, and vanilla; gradually add to dry ingredients, stirring until well blended.

Fill 18 paper lined cupcake cups about half full of batter. Top each with 1 tablespoon of the chocolate chip filling and about 1/2 teaspoon walnuts. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 25 minutes or until top springs back when gently pressed. Makes 18 cupcakes. When these cupcakes are broken in two, a soft white cheese center is revealed.
