Black bottom cake


For those bakers, black bottom cake is not a new term for them. But for me, i first heard about this term when i was searching online on some recipes of cupcake. I found this - black bottom cake, decided to try it out.
It is actually a chocolate cake at bottom with cream cheese chocolate chip mixture on top. It'll look like this:
(that's my version, may not look as good as those experienced bakers' cake)
 

The cakes taste yummy. A little bit of cheese in the cake always make the cake taste super delicious even  for those who are not cheesecake lovers.

I do not really know why most cake recipes do advise on adding small amount ( 1/2 to 1 tsp) of salt into batter, and i guess probably there is some function of salt? But, i find it makes the black bottom cake taste a bit too salty by doing this of which it covers the sweetness taste of chocolate cake. I'll prefer to omit the salt on my next try.
