The base of these cupcakes is a springy chocolate cake called "wacky cake." Made with no butter, eggs or milk and stirred together in one bowl, it was popular during World War II when rations were low. Along the way, someone added a rich cheesecake filling and black bottom cupcakes were born.

Time 40m

Yield 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon white vinegar

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners. Beat together the cream cheese, egg, 1/3 cup of the granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon of the vanilla extract in a medium bowl on medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth and no lumps remain, 1 to 2 minutes. Set aside.
  • Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, baking soda, salt and remaining 2/3 cup granulated sugar in a large bowl. Add the oil, the remaining teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 cup water and mix until combined. Let the batter rest 10 minutes at room temperature, then stir in the vinegar.
  • Divide the chocolate batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Drop about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese filling in the center of each cupcake.
  • Bake until the cream cheese filling has set and a toothpick inserted into the chocolate cupcake comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
  • Cool in the tin 5 minutes and then use a butter knife or small offset spatula to carefully remove the cupcakes to a wire rack. Cool the cupcakes completely before serving, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

- Use room temperature ingredients for best results. - Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cupcake. - Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling. - Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cupcake. - Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can result in dry, crumbly cupcakes. - Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before frosting. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting. - If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a spoon to spread the frosting on the cupcakes. - For a more decadent cupcake, try using a chocolate ganache frosting.

Conclusion:

Black bottom cupcakes are a classic dessert that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make black bottom cupcakes that are sure to impress your friends and family.
