Love this recipe!! These are wonderful! I did not put the coconut in either and made a homemade cream cheese frosting from a recipe also on this website.

Please confirm: does the creamcheese, choc chips & coconut get baked as well? That doesn't seem right to me..

Yes the cream cheese mixture is dropped right into the center of the batter for each cupcake and then baked. They are wonderful!

So is the mini chocolate chips, cream cheese, powder sugar and egg get mixed all together, then once you pour the red velvet mix it goes on top to bake?

My question is the same, pls respond..
Comment by: khalverson5 (1 discussion) on Jan 14, 2012 at 02:08 PM
Yes that is correct. Once they bake, the cream cheese mixture will be in the center of the cupcake and you will not see it.

I made these cupcakes for a work event and everyone loved them! I skipped the coconut and made a homemade cream cheese frosting. They are so simple, but taste like they took tons of effort.

Will the cream cheese rise to the top? shouldnt the batter go on top of the cream cheese?

I added the cream cheese mixture to the top of the batter and it sunk to the bottom while baking. It left the tops perfect for frosting.

I noticed you can exchange unsalted butter for the oil. Is the amount of butter to be used the same as the amount of oil? Also, it stated the butter should be room temp. Can you melt the butter or must it be just "soft?"

These are the best. Reminds me of black bottom cupcakes. What a super idea for valentines day. Instead of coconut and chocolate chips on top, use cinnamon hearts or gumi bears on the frosting of just serve them with a dollop of whip cream. They are scrumdeli-ishious.

I made jumbo cupcakes and spooned the cream cheese mixture into the batter and had too much left over. Can I save it in the fridge for the next batch? How long does it keep before it spoils?
