Black Bottoms

Ingredients:
Cake

• 1 1/2 c. flour
• 1/4 c. cocoa
• 1 c. sugar
• 1 tsp. soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 c. water
• 3/4 c. oil
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 Tbsp. vinegar

Filling

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/3 c. sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/8 tsp. salt
• 6 oz. chocolate chips
• 1/4 c. chopped nuts, optional
  

Directions:

1. Mix together the cake ingredients.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the filling ingredients together, except the choc. chips and nuts.
3. Stir in choc. chips and nuts.
4. Can place either in cupcake liners or greased 9x13 pan.
5. If using cupcakes, fill about 2/3 full of cake mixture, then drop about 1 Tbsp of filling on top.
6. If using a 9x13, spread all the cake mixture on the bottom, drop spoonfuls of the filling on top. Using a knife, cut through the filling and cake to 'marble it' slightly.
7. Bake at 350 for 25-30 for cupcakes, slightly longer for cake.
