Nee~Nee's Stuffed Chocolate Cupcake with a Cream Cheese Filling

   Hello all, I hope you all had a nice day today... So tonight I am not being a slacker... I went out earlier today with my father cause we were starting to run low on baking products.  So I picked up a few odds and ends that I needed to get me through the next few days.  While in the baking isle I realized I had been dying to make cupcakes but had not had liners for the pan.  So thats how I came up with today's tasty treat... My son is certainly happy, so that is a plus, chocolate and cream cheese are 2 of his most favorite things lol.. What more could the child ask for....lol... Well I am off to get started on our little baking adventure be back soon with the details and hopefully not disasters but you never know!!!


   Okay so my stuffed cupcakes go like this:


What you will need:


Nee~Nee's Chocolate Cupcakes
11/3 cups flour 
1/4 teaspoon baking soda 
2 teaspoons baking powder 
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/8 teaspoon salt 
3 tablespoons butter (softened)
11/2 cups sugar 
2 eggs
3/4 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup milk 


          1.  Preheat to 350 degrees.  Line muffin with cupcake liners. In medium bowl Sift together flour baking powder, baking soda, cocoa and salt.  Set aside.


          2.  In large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy not liquidy fluffy but kinda puffy.  Add one egg at a time beating well with each addition, then stir in the vanilla.  Add the flour mixture alternating with the milk beat well..

          3.  Fill cups 3/4 of the way full, bake for 20 minutes maybe longer depending on your oven..

Cream Cheese Filling
1 pkg cream cheese (softened)
1/4 cup batter (softened)
1 cup confectioners sugar 
1 teaspoon vanilla 


            1.   In a large bowl mix cream cheese and butter until creamy, mix in vanilla, then gradually stir in confectioners sugar. Beat until light and fluffy. 


            2.  Fill pastry bag with a tip to insert cream cheese filling into cupcakes.  


NOTE: If you do not have a pastry bag try using a plastic baggy.




   After I took the cupcakes out of the oven I let them cool for about 10-15 minutes then I inserted the tip of the pastry bag into the top of the cupcake and squeezed until some cream cheese came out the top 

   Well they came out pretty good taste wise I'm still working on presentation lol... The cream cheese filling was amazing and the cake was pretty good, they came out pretty moist.  The only problem that I came across was that I bought Reynolds cupcake liners and I DO NOT recommend them, the paper was ridiculously hard to get off the cakes... Here is one more picture of the best one I decorated..lol... I'm still trying to master that skill....

     Okay, now I am exhausted I think I need a good nights rest, because I have not been sleeping well... 


     Until tomorrow stay warm, safe and the ones you love!!!!!!!!!!
