Black Bottoms

This is a black bottom cupcake. It's basically just a plain chocolate cupcake with a dollop of cheesecake in the middle. This is a classic recipe and should not be messed with. I don't know what else to say, but you should make these. They are so easy and so good.

1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder

1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup oil
1 cup water
1 tsp vanilla
1 tbsp white vinegar



8 oz cream cheese
1 egg
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup mini chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix flour, sugar, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center, and add the oil, water, vanilla and white vinegar. Whisk together and set aside.



In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, egg, salt and sugar together. Stir the chocolate chips into the cream cheese mixture. 


Line a muffin pan with paper liners. Fill with chocolate batter until 3/4 full. Top with 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until set.
