  • 2
    In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, 1 cup sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and the 1/2 tsp. salt.
  • 3
    Add the water, oil, vinegar and the tablespoon of vanilla to the dry ingredients; stir until blended.
  • 4
    Fill 18 paper-lined cupcake cups half-full with cake batter.
  • 5
    Drop a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture into each cup. Then, using a spoon, lightly cover the cream cheese with the cake batter. This makes the tops more rounded.
