Mix the rest of the ingredients (flour, sugar, cocoa, salt, vinegar, vanilla, oil, baking soda, water. Pour into cupcake liners, filling half full.  Drop 1 tablespoon cream cheese mixture into middle of cupcake.  Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.  Makes 18-20 cupcakes.

I read online that the key to really making these good is to serve them cold out of the fridge.
