Cooking Thursday

Todays recipe is one from my childhood.  I remember my mom making these when I was in elementary school, and now I'm 60, so this is an old recipe!  My daughter Laura mentioned making them and said the girls love them. I hadn't made them for some time and decided it was time to make a batch!  Besides, chocolate and cream cheese is always a winner!

These are so tasty, the recipe makes a bunch and they freeze really well.  They even taste good right from the freezer.

Topsy Turvy Cupcakes

Mix:
2 - 8 ounce packages cream cheese
2 eggs
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
Beat, then stir in 12 ounces chocolate chips.  Set aside.

Stir together:
3 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
Add:
2 cups water
2/3 cup oil
2 tablespoons vinegar
2 teaspoons vanilla
Beat until well mixed.  Fill cupcakes 1/2 of chocolate mix.  Top with one tablespoon of cream cheese mix.
Bake for 30-35 minutes.
Makes 30 cupcakes

The old recipe's are the best, I think. I still have many from when my step-mom was alive. She was an excellent cook too. Thanks for sharing the love! Have a blessed day my friend. xx

Yummmmmm.... If one can eat chocolate. -smile-

Never heard of this combo. Cool, to learn something new. Might even be able to adapt it, in some way, to something I can eat. -smile-

Those look and sound really yummy! Nice to take to a church potluck (if we ever get to do those again someday)! Thanks, Mari!

Those cupcakes are a favorite here too. In fact my sister's son messaged me last summer asking me for the recipe because he was hungry for them! Often made them for family events.

I need to send you some pictures of the ones the girls made - and how the oven looked after... ;)
