Black Bottom Cupcakes (Or Cake)

Directions

1. INSTRUCTIONS: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange 24 cupcake liners in muffin tins or possibly liberally grease a cake/bundt pan. Blend together the cream cheese, Large eggs and 2/3 c. of the sugar in a large bowl. Stir in the chocolate chips. Sift the remaining sugar, the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt into a mixing bowl. Stir in the water, oil, vinegar and vanilla; beat till smooth. Fill cupcake liners 1/3 full with the chocolate batter; spoon the cheese mix on top. If using a cake or possibly bundt pan, scrape the batter into the pan, then top with several layers of the cream cheese topping, spreading it thinly because it will sink in deeper after each application. Bake till the cakes test done - 30 to 35 min for cupcakes, 40 to 45 min for cake. Let cold 10 min before turning out on wire racks to cold completely.
