Rich chocolate cupcakes filled with cream cheese and topped with a sweet frosting.
Sweet and simple.
Sometimes I think we look beyond the mark. Yes, a multistep, 40 ingredient recipe does sometimes taste better but sometimes you just need quick and easy! Well these cream cheese filled cupcakes are just that! There are literally 4 ingredients (depending on the cake mix).
First you whip up a chocolate cake mix. Following the instructions on the box. I like to use my 1 1/2 inch cookie scoop to fill each muffin tin to half full. Then you place a frozen one inch cream cheese cube in the center of the tin. Finally you top it with more batter. Toss them in the oven and bake. You can get fancy on the frosting but I always have a tub of frosting on hand especially when I’m going for quick and easy.

Cupcakes are perfect for any party!
These are fun to decorate for holidays or switch up the frosting. Seriously the perfect treat to impress. I remember the first time I was exposed to mini cupcakes. They instantly became a favorite party food. They are so quick to make but look so time intense. It was always a hit!
So no matter what style of cupcake you are making, remember that no one can mock a quick and easy cupcake. You actually went to the effort to make them and they still taste 100 times better than anything store bought!
