DIRECTIONS

Mix cake mix, sour cream, oil, water in eggs in large bowl until well blended. Batter will be thick.
Spoon batter into 24 muffin cups with paper baking cups.
Place strawberry preserves in small bowl and stir until smooth.
Place 1 cube of cream cheese in center of each cupcake; press in slightly. Place 1/4 tsp of preserves over the cream cheese.
You may also press 4-5 mini chocolate chips into the cream cheese before pressing into the batter for a nice variation.
