I developed this recipe on my own on the back of about 30 failed batches of cupcakes. It combines a not-so-sweet marbled chocolate/vanilla cupcake with a chocolate cream cheese icing that I think is unusual in a good way.

Look, either these are good or I'm a lot hotter than I think I am; where are you gonna put your chips? Make the damn cupcakes.

==Cake Ingredients==
* 1 cup cake flour, or other low-gluten flour (AP flour is OK but won't give the best results)
* 1/2 cup granulated sugar

* 1 1/3 cup powdered sugar
* 1 tsp lemon juice
* about 1/4 ounce unsweetened baking chocolate, grated into small curls

==Directions==
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Mix cocoa powder and hot water until smooth; set aside. Cream together butter and sugars. Add milk, flour, baking powder, salt, egg, and vanilla. Stir until smooth, but don't over-mix. Divide batter into two parts. Add cocoa mixture to one part only.

Place 12 paper cups in a muffin pan. Divide the plain batter among the cups, then add chocolate batter to the cups. Mix the contents of each cup with a small spoon, to create a marbled appearance in each cupcake (you can skip this if it seems excessive).

Once cupcakes are completely cooled, make frosting. Stir powdered sugar into softened cream cheese until smooth. Add lemon juice and mix. Frost each cupcake with the frosting mixture, then top with the chocolate curls.
