Cupcake Preparation
  1. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with decorative paper liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, and salt until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, blend vegetable oil, eggs, buttermilk, red food coloring, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, gently folding until just combined.
  5. In another bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and a splash of vanilla extract until creamy and smooth.
  6. Spoon cupcake batter into muffin tins halfway, add a dollop of cheesecake filling, then top with more batter.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool in the tin for 5 minutes.
  8. Top with whipped cream using a piping bag and sprinkle cocoa powder or chocolate shavings.
