Black Bottom Cupcakes

Cake:

1 ½ cups flour

1 cup sugar

¼ cup unsweet cocoa

1 tsp baking soda

½ tsp salt

1 cup water

1/3 cup oil

1 tsp white vinegar

Filling:

6oz cream cheese, room temperature

1/3 cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla

1 egg

6 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350º. Combine cake ingredients and beat 2 minutes. Set aside.

Cream sugar and cream cheese until smooth. Beat vanilla and egg in. Stir in chocolate chips.

Fill cups 1/3 cupcake, 1 Tbsp filling. Bake 350º for 20-30 minutes.

Note: I usually just use the cake part and ice or put white chips in the cake while baking. Makes a 9 inch round cake layer. Can also use in 13x9 inch pan for thinner cake.
