Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda and salt. In another bowl, combine the water, oil, egg, vinegar and vanilla. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
For filling, beat the cream cheese, sugar and salt until smooth. Beat in egg and vanilla. Fold in chips.
Fill 12 paper-lined jumbo muffin cups half full with batter. Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of cream cheese mixture into center of each; cover with remaining batter.
Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in muffin comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar if desired. Yield: 1 dozen.
