Eggless black bottom cupcakes recipe - soft, moist and spongy chocolate cake as a base. It has creamy, sweet cream cheese filling in the center. The chocolaty flavor with creamy, smooth cheesecake like filling. It is just fantastic.
For making these cupcakes, first we need to make cream cheese filling. It is made from cream cheese, sugar, yogurt, cornstarch and flavored with vanilla.
Secondly we need to make chocolate cake batter. The chocolate cake base recipe is similar to my chocolate cupcakes. This chocolate cake is egg-free and made with oil. Addition of vinegar makes it spongy and soft.
Lastly, pour the chocolate cake batter into the muffin pan. Top the center with cream cheese filling. And bake into pre-heated oven.
The chocolate and cream cheese layer does not dissolve as it bakes. They stay separated. It is the beautiful and magical part of the cupcake.

Do you think its okay to use apple cider vinegar instead of regular? Do you think it will hurt to add chocolate chips to the cupcake batter and the cream cheese filling?
Also planning to veganize this with vegan cream cheese and soy milk yogurt! Will see how it goes!

yes you can use apple cider vinegar. addition of chocolate chip is best, go for it.
Please Let me know how it turns out using vegan ingredients.
