Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1.25 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Water
• 0.33 cup Vegetable oil
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon White vinegar
• 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 1 large Egg
• 0.33 cup Granulated sugar (for filling)
• 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper cupcake liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

Add the water, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and white vinegar to the dry ingredients. Stir just until the batter comes together and has no lumps. Set aside.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, egg, and 1/3 cup granulated sugar with an electric hand mixer until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

Fold the semisweet chocolate chips into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula.

Step 6

Spoon the chocolate batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each one about halfway full.

Step 7

Carefully drop a spoonful of the cream cheese filling into the center of each cupcake, dividing it evenly among all the cupcakes.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 23-25 minutes, or until the chocolate portion of the cupcakes is set and springs back when lightly pressed.

Step 9

Allow the cupcakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Step 10

Enjoy your Black Bottom Cream Cheese Cupcakes as a decadent dessert or a sweet snack!
