Awesomeness Inside a Fluted Paper Cup

cupcakes



Soft and creamy filling….



melted chocolate gooeyness on the bottom…



all encapsulated by moist cake…..



makes for a party in your mouth!



Years ago my at-the-time boyfriend (who is now Mr. SCD) gave me this recipe to try out. At the time I was taking a psychology class in college and we were having an end of the semester party. Being as I wasn’t a very good cook and liked to bake, I opted to bring a dessert. I was pleased as punch that the cupcakes were well received – so much in fact that the platter emptied out in a flash.



Here’s the recipe:



Black Bottom Cupcakes



1 1/2 cup all purpose flour



1/4 cup cocoa



1/2 tsp salt



5 tablespoons salad oil



1 tsp vanilla



1 cup white granulated sugar



1 tsp baking soda



1 cup water



1 tablespoon cider vinegar





for the filling:



8 ounces cream cheese



1 egg



1/3 cup white granulated sugar



6 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Stir together all dry ingredients. Add all of the wet ingredients. Stir until blended. Fill 18 cupcake wrappers 1/2 full. Top each with 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese filling.



Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.



Enjoy!!!!!
