Black Bottoms

In a small bowl mix 8 oz. of softened cream cheese with 1 egg.  Add 1, 12 oz. bag of mini semi-sweet chocolate morsels and set aside.

In a large bowl or mixer sift together:

• 1 and 1/2 cups of flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/4 cup cocoa
• 1/2 tsp. salt

In a 2 cup measuring glass or in a small bowl add 1/3 cup cooking oil, 1 tbsp. vinegar and 1 tsp. vanilla to 1 cup of water.  Mix well with dry ingredients.

Fill mini cups about half way and add 1 tsp. of the cheese mixture on top.  Bake at 350 degrees till firm for about 15 to 20 min.

Delicious and moist!  At Christmas time you can get decorative mini cup cake papers to put them in or try them as finger food for showers or teas and parties.

ENJOY!!
