Lovin' from the oven...

Can't you just smell the yummy cupcakes Riley is serving up? I love the smell of fresh baked goods. I enjoy baking ~ I'm actually a better baker than a cook. Maybe because I like to cook with exact measurements & that is required for baking. My husband on the other hand, would rather throw in a bit of this and a pinch of that ~ he is a much better cook.

When I think of cupcakes, I immediately think of one of my mom's old recipes called Black Bottom Cupcakes. In fact, I may make some later today ~ oh boy are they out-of-this-world yummy! I do have a busy day, so it may have to wait until next week ~ but don't worry, I'll share. (note: the picture on the right is from AllRecipes.com & they look just like my mom's)


Pudd's Black Bottom Cupcakes


Combine:
1 - 8 oz. cream cheese
1/2 c. sugar
1 egg

Then add 1 c. chocolate chips, mix & set aside.

Sift together:

1 c. sugar
1 1/2 c. flour
