Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until well combined.
Add the water, vegetable oil, vinegar, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, and mix until smooth and well incorporated. Set aside.
In another bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, egg, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Fold the mini chocolate chips into the cream cheese mixture.
Spoon the chocolate batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about 2/3 of the way full.
Drop about a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of each cupcake. The cream cheese filling will sink slightly as the cupcakes bake.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the edges of the cupcakes are firm and the cream cheese filling is set.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve your Black Bottom Cupcakes at room temperature or chilled. Enjoy!
