"Boscoe Bakes"...Black Bottom Cupcakes

I nibble on chocolate every day of the week, and tend to favor it as an ingredient any time I get the urge to fire up the Kitchen Aid. So needless to say, a majority of the baked goodies I create always have chocolate included in one of many forms.  Today, I felt like making chocolate cake, but not just any chocolate cake......I wanted something with character and color. Suddenly I remembered a recipe for Black Bottom Cupcakes by David Lebovitz, and realized I had settled on the perfect choice.  I also remembered that my friend Deb from Smitten Kitchen had made these delectable treats last year, and in addition to her hilarious commentary, I'm also pleased to present you with the recipe .Thanks Deb!  These colorful little creations are absolutely light as a feather, include a delicious cream cheese filling infused with chocolate and they simply melt in your mouth. There is one big problem though.............these beauties are so light and irresistible that you find yourself popping them into your mouth one right after the other. In order to have some left for family or friends, I would strongly suggest making at least 2 dozen.

I'm a chocolate person too. If the recipe doesn't have any chocolate in it, I feel something is missing.

Great cupcakes, they look fantastic!
