Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Swirl Cupcakes

Cream cheese and chocolate chips - never a bad way to start anything. This is the beginnings of chocolate chip cheesecake swirl cupcakes, another of Betty Crocker's creations from the Big Book of Cupcakes.


This fizzy mess (reminiscent of rabies froth if you want to think of it like that) is what you get when you add baking soda to the vinegar in your cake mix. Bubbly.


With filling and cake batter prepared, it's time for cupcakes.


The recipe, which incidentally you can find in full here, says to fill one third of the cupcake well with batter, spoon in filling and then top with more batter. Which, I must say, does not promote any kind of cheesecake "swirl" as the recipe name suggests. The cupcakes you end up with following the recipe don't look much like the photo that they display with the recipe! Next time I will attempt some kind of swirling to make my cupcakes look a bit grander.


Monkey seemed to like them anyway. The main con is that they need to be stored in the fridge because of the cream cheese.


But look inside...


To make your cupcake extra awesome, heat it up in the microwave for 10-15 seconds just before you devour it. It gets all gooey and fantastic.
