Stuffed Cupcakes image

A not so sweet chocolate cupcake with a sweet cream cheese filling. We have made this per the recipe and made numerous tweaks (lemon cupcake- adding a little strawberry preserves to the filling). We have also made this with Hershey's Dark cocoa which made the cupcakes a bit more rich. For those not wanting to cook with butter, margarine is fine. This was originally given as a 'child-friendly' recipe and has never failed to delight.
