Black Bottom Cupcakes

Lately my biggest crave has been cupcakes.  I seriously can't get enough of them.  I dream about them.  Ben, unfortunately is not a cake type of guy.  He just humors me.  I asked him if there was a kind that he may want and he asked for these.  I had been searching for a recipe for awhile and couldn't find one that I thought sounded good enough.  Then, I went to my friend, Ashley's, blog and she had just posted these.  Bless you!!  They are soooo good!  I hope you enjoy them!

Black Bottom Cupcakes

3 c. flour
2 c. sugar
1/2 c. cocoa
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. soda
2 c. water
2/3 c. oil
2 tsp. vinegar
2 tsp. vanilla

Mix dry ingredients and pour wet into dry ingredients.  Fill each muffin tin 1/3 of the way with cake batter.  Put 1 TBS filling on top.  Then cover with more cake batter.  Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.  

Filling:

1 (8 oz.) cream cheese, softened
1 egg
1/3 c. sugar
1/8 tsp. salt
1 c. chocolate chips

Beat first 4 ingredients together, then add chocolate chips.  

Enjoy!!

Um..... Yum, those look delish! I might actually have to break down and make those. I wish I was your neighbor! I'd be popping over everytime your oven timer when off!

I am so glad I posted these. Maybe I was inspired. They are so yummy, huh! You are very sweet to surprise Ben with them on his way home from his trip.
