Today is Niclas' birthday. Along with the cake his mother made (she's visiting), Matilda and I made some cupcakes.
(From latest edition of The Joy of Cooking)
Preheat oven to 350.
Beat in a medium bowl until smooth:
8 ounces of cream cheese
1/3 cup sugar
Add and beat until smooth:
1 large egg
Stir in:
1 cup chocolate chips
Set that bowl aside. In another bowl, whisk together thoroughly:
1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
Add:
1 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tbsp. white vinegar
1 tsp. vanilla
Stir with a spatula just until smooth. Fill muffin cups about halfway full of the latter (chocolate) mixture. Place a heaping tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture in the center of each. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the cakey part of a cupcake comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes.

P.S. These cupcakes are only good for about two days. Then the chocolate layer gets too dry. I know this because last night I ate two of them. Even though the chocolate layer was dry.
