I came across a black bottom cupcake recipe at Annie’s Eats<\/a> (adapted from David Lebovitz)<\/a>. I’ve never made homemade cupcakes before (gasp!)…I guess I never realized how easy it is and how tasty they are! My mother-in-law makes a similar cupcake for Christmas, and since -s loves those I thought I’d give these a shot. They are so tasty, and I’m sure -s can’t wait to get home from his business trip to give them a try.<\/p>\n

I came across a black bottom cupcake recipe at Annie’s Eats (adapted from David Lebovitz). I’ve never made homemade cupcakes before (gasp!)…I guess I never realized how easy it is and how tasty they are! My mother-in-law makes a similar cupcake for Christmas, and since -s loves those I thought I’d give these a shot. They are so tasty, and I’m sure -s can’t wait to get home from his business trip to give them a try. Ingredients: For the filling: 8 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature 1\/3 c. granulated sugar 1 large egg, at room temperature 1\/4 c. of mini chocolate chips \u00c2\u00a0 For the cupcakes: 1 \u00bd c. all-purpose flour 1 c. firmly packed light brown sugar 5 TBSP unsweetened cocoa powder 1 tsp. baking soda \u00bc tsp. salt 1 c. water 1\/3 c. vegetable oil 1 TBSP white or cider vinegar 1 tsp. vanilla extract Directions: To make the filling, whisk the cream cheese, granulated sugar and egg until smooth. Stir in chopped chocolate pieces.\u00a0 Set aside. To make the cupcakes, adjust a rack to the center of the oven and preheat to 350\u00b0.\u00a0 Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners (my batch made 15 cupcakes). In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, brown sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. In a separate bowl mix together the water, oil, vinegar and vanilla extract.\u00a0 Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and stir in the wet ingredients, stirring just until smooth. Stir any longer and you will over-mix the batter, and end up with less-than-tender cupcakes. Divide the batter among the muffin cups. Spoon a few tablespoons of the filling into the center of each cupcake, dividing the filling evenly. This will fill the cups almost completely, which is fine.
