Milk Chocolate Chocolate Cream Cheese Cupcakes filled with chunks of chocolate and chocolate flavored cream cheese. Top with chocolate frosting. Four chocolate treats in one cupcake!
I decided to make cupcakes because it also National Chocolate Cupcake Day! My birthday today too so I had to have chocolate cake. But not any chocolate cake.
This recipe is adapted from my Mom’s milk chocolate cake recipe.
Divine 100% Cocoa Chocolate Baking Bar is used in the cake instead of cocoa.
I added chocolate cream cheese and chocolate chips to the center.
The frosting is made with Divine 55% chocolate, So smooth and creamy.
Divine Chocolate is the only Fairtrade chocolate company in the world that is owed by cocoa farmers!
