Gluten-free Black Bottom Cupcakes with Cream Cheese

Easy black bottom cupcakes is one of the recipes I borrowed from my sister in law during one summer when she had a houseful of guests visiting for a week.

This is a version of the Just Desserts black bottomed cupcake recipe, but I'm substituting gluten-free flour.   Absolutely delicious!
