There is a cupcake craze going on. There are shops for cupcakes alone, blogs of only cupcake recipes, and man I could really eat one right now. Enter Mom Mud's amazing Black-bottom Cupcakes. So moist, (eww, I hate that word. See Vanessa's blog), and delectable. Maybe they should be called "Rock-bottom Cupcakes." Something to eat when nothing is going right, when you're a little down. Naaa, they should be eaten anytime (especially right after your 30th birthday).
Black-Bottom Cupcakes
1 1/2 cup flour, unsifted
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine above in a large bowl. Set aside.
1 cup water
5 T oil
1 T cider vinegar
1 tsp vanilla
In another bowl, combine above (water-vanilla). Add to flour mixture and stir. Set aside.
8 oz cream cheese
1egg
1/3 cup sugar
6 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
Beat together above ingredients until smooth.
In lined or greased muffin cups, fill half-full with cocoa mixture. Add about 1 tablespoon of the cream-cheese/chocolate chip mixture. Makes about 18 cupcakes. Bake for 25 minutes or until cupcake springs back.

My sincerest apologies. I was on vacation, and had no access to the internet. I ALWAYS REMEMBER YOUR BIRTHDAY! Happy belated special day, you old person you. (And if you are mourning your 30th birthday like most people do, you are nuts:), but you don't strike me as the kind of person that would do that.) I love ya Jules!
That's right! I always forget that you're a year ahead of me... I promise I'm not trying to rub it in that your 30 already... and I'm barely 29. :) I love these cupcakes. My mom has almost the same recipe. I haven't made them in forever... I think that needs to change.
I think you just glossed over the fact that you turned the big 3-0! I'm horrible, and didn't realize it was your birthday. I hope you had a great day! Happy Belated.
Love your blog, just found it through a friend. Am looking forward to trying some recipes. I just started a recipe blog as well. Check it out if you'd like.
