BLACK BOTTOM CUPCAKES



Black Bottom Cupcakes image

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.

Categories     dessert

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.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cupcake Recipes

Time 1h15m

Yield Makes 24 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 17

6 tablespoons Dutch-process cocoa powder
6 tablespoons hot water
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
1/2 cup sour cream, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 pound cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup sour cream, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch of coarse salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two standard 12-cup muffin tins with liners.
  • Cupcakes: In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together cocoa and hot water until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder. In a small saucepan, heat butter and sugar over medium-low, stirring occasionally, until butter melts and mixture is combined; transfer to a medium bowl and whisk until cooled slightly, 4 to 5 minutes. Add egg and whisk until smooth. Add cocoa mixture, flour mixture, sour cream, and vanilla; stir until just combined (do not over-mix).
  • Filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  • Spoon 2 to 3 tablespoons cupcake batter into each muffin cup, tapping tins firmly to level and evenly distribute batter. Evenly divide the cream cheese filling among the muffin cups, adding spoonfuls to each to fill muffin cups about three-quarters full. Dot remaining cupcake batter on top. Using a skewer or tip of a paring knife, make figure-8 motions to create a marbled effect on the surface of each cupcake. Bake until filling sets, 22 to 25 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips or chopped bittersweet chocolate in the cupcake batter.
  • To make sure the cupcakes are moist, don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dry cupcakes.
  • For a gooey chocolate center, fill the cupcake liners about 2/3 full with batter.

  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the ganache to set properly.
