Black Bottom Cupcakes

This has been a favorite recipe for years.  But not sure what has changed throughout the years, but they do not look like they originally did.  They still are good.  I usually do not frost these, but a simple ganache can be drizzled over the top.

Black Bottom Cupcakes

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/3 cups sugar, divided
1 tsp soda
1/3 cup oil
1 cup water
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp vinegar
1/4 cup cocoa
1/2 tsp salt
1 8 oz pkg cream cheese, room temperature
1 egg
1 cup chocolate chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Sift flour, 1 cup sugar, baking soda, cocoa and salt together in a large mixing bowl.

Make a well in the center.  Pour oil, water, vanilla and vinegar into well.

Beat for 4 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer.

Combine cream cheese, remaining 1/3 cup sugar, egg and 1/8 tsp salt in a small mixing bowl.  Beat until smooth.  Stir in chips.

Prepare muffin tin by spraying, or can use muffin liners - sprayed.  Fill muffin tins 1/2 full with batter.  Add 1 Tbsp cream cheese mixture to each tin.  Bake in preheated  oven for 20-30 minutes.
