Instructions
Now let’s get baking! Follow these simple instructions to make your Black Bottom Cupcakes:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, granulated sugar, and cocoa powder.
- In another bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add in the powdered sugar and the extra egg, mixing until well incorporated. If desired, fold in the chocolate chips.
- Fill each cupcake liner about halfway with the chocolate batter. Then add a heaping tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cupcake comes out clean.
- Allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, these cupcakes can be served plain or dusted with powdered sugar for a little extra flair. Enjoy your delicious Black Bottom Cupcakes!
