I started making this recipe this morning to take to work. I got a late start in making it and was rushed for time. I made 12 cupcakes and then decided to pour the remaining batter and filling into a 9" square baking pan. I put the filling on the batter in scattered blobs and then swirled them with a knife. i baked both the cupcakes and the cake at the same time and had to increase the baking time by about 5 minutes. I used mini chocolate chips in the filling so that they would spread more evenly throughout the filling. Everyone loved this recipe!!! Five people had seconds!!! Thank you for posting this recipe!

This is an old favorite recipe, and my kids just love it! I mix it up by using different flavors of cake mix, and I generally top with just a swirl of icing so to not overpower the yummy filling. So good! Hostess better look out!

This is by far one of the best cupcake recipes around. I made these for my son's preschool and he came home with an empty plate! I would like to try a variation on this with white or strawberry cake mix, strawberry cream cheese and white chocolate chips. Excellent baked product that is worth the extra step of filling, try it!

These are amazing little treats. I prepared them for my hubby's birthday and stacked them in a pyramid on a pedestal cake plate and drizzled with Very Shiny Chocolate Glaze for a spectacular presentation. Honestly, they needed no frosting or glaze, though. I used a German Chocolate cake mix and semi-sweet chocolate bits. I used the same semi-sweet chocolate to create the glaze. Some of the cream cheese mixture did sink to the middle and create a filling for the cup cakes, and some stayed on top and marbled beautifully. I am not a baker and love any help that I can get. These cupcakes made me look like a pro and were a hit for the birthday.
