Vegan Black Bottom Cupcakes

Growing up my mom made these all the time and they were hands down my favorite treat that she made!
I finally tried to make them vegan and the results were amazing, they taste just like my moms! Now we can't keep them in the house, they are gone the day I make them!

1 cup sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup water

In a large bowl stir together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. In another bowl beat together beat together water, oil, vinegar and vanilla, gradually add dry ingredients and mix until blended.


Cream Cheese Filling
8 ounces vegan cream cheese (try Galaxy Veggie cream cheese it's yummy)

2 tablespoons water
