Black Bottom Cupcakes Recipe

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Servings: 16 muffins

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon vinegar
• 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prep: Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Prepare your muffin tin by lining it with paper liners.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the water, vanilla extract, and vinegar until thoroughly incorporated.

4. Blend Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the liquid mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms. Ensure there are no lumps remaining.

5. Fill Muffin Cups: Fill each paper-lined muffin cup halfway with the batter. This ensures there’s enough space for the cream cheese filling and prevents overflow during baking.

6. Prepare Cream Cheese Filling: In another bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, egg, and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.

7. Add Chocolate Chips: Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips into the cream cheese mixture until they’re evenly distributed.

8. Assemble Cupcakes: Spoon a dollop of the cream cheese mixture into the center of each muffin cup, on top of the batter.

9. Bake to Perfection: Place the filled muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the cupcakes are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

10. Cool and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

These Black Bottom Cupcakes are a delightful treat for any occasion, whether it’s a cozy family gathering or a festive party with friends. The combination of moist chocolate cake and creamy cheesecake filling is simply irresistible! Serve them as they are or with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent touch. Enjoy the sweet symphony of flavors in every bite! 🎉
