Cooking Thursday

Today's recipe is for cupcakes.  This is a recipe that was popular when I was a kid - lots of years ago.  I haven't made them for some time, but they are just as good as they used to be.  (Chocolate and cream cheese is always a winner - and you don't have to frost them!)
This recipe makes 36 cupcakes, but they freeze really well.
