Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.

In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.

Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.

Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
-
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate with the heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture to the cream cheese mixture, beating until well combined.

Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, frost them with the chocolate cream cheese frosting.
