Blackbottom Cupcakes

These are all about indulgence...

1 1/2 c. flour
1 c. sugar
1/4 c. cocoa
1 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. water
5 Tbs. oil (if you want to make a little bit healthier we use 2 T applesauce and 3 T oil)
1 Tbs. vinegar
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix together and fill cupcake cups 1/2 full with batter.

Topping:
1 8 oz pkg cream cheese
1 egg
1/3 cup sugar

Mix together everything except nuts and put a spoonful in each cupcake cup and then sprinkle chopped nuts on top.

Bake @350 for 25 minutes. Enjoy!!
