I was trying to come up with the perfect last #30daysofdairy recipe. I really couldn’t decide but finally settled on these Black Bottom Cupcakes. These are a family favorite from my family and were a new treat for Clayton to enjoy.
I love making these when I can’t decide between something chocolately or cream cheesy like cheesecake! These cupcakes have a cream cheese center and when balanced with the chocolate cake they are delightful!
I truly hope you have enjoyed my #30daysofdairy posts and now I will not cook for another 2 months (ok probably 2 days)! 🙂
