Cupcake Surprise
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/3 c sugar
1 egg
1 box cake mix (to make 24 cupcakes), prepared according to directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line muffin pan(s) with 24 paper liners. Combine cream cheese and sugar. Beat in egg. Set aside. Prepare cake mix according to directions on box. Fill each cupcake liner half full (a #40 disher works well). Place a scant tablespoon (#50 disher works well) of cream cheese mixture in the middle of each cupcake. Cover with remaining cake mix batter (again, a #40 disher works well). Bake for 19-21 minutes (whatever cake mix recommends for cupcakes). Cool in pans for 15 minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool completely.
