Growing up, a favorite treat was a tasty, moist, gooey Black Bottom Cup. These little yummies are one of my all-time favorites. They are a moist chocolate cupcake with a sweet cream cheese filling in the center. The cream cheese has mini chocolate chips added for another chocolaty surprise.
The other day I made a meal for a friend and wanted a delicious dessert to finish it. Packed away in storage, is my cookbook with my mom's recipe for these little gems so I had to find an online recipe that would measure up. I think we did pretty well. I usually don't make desserts I LOVE because I'm too tempted and will want to eat them all up on my own. My will power has definitely been tested this week!
These cupcakes are fairly easy to make, but you do end up dirtying up a couple large bowls. I do recommend making the cream cheese mixture in a food processor. It's hard to really get the cream cheese smooth enough if doing it by hand. An electric mixer should work well too.
