    Curtis Stone's 60 Cal Cupcakes
    5 organic egg whites
    Pinch of salt
    3 tablespoons honey
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    ¼ cup nonfat Greek yogurt
    ½ cup whole wheat flour
    1 teaspoon baking powder

    For the frosting
    1 cup nonfat cream cheese, at room temp
    1 cup fresh raspberries
    Fresh raspberries to garnish

    Instructions:

    1. Preheat the oven to 325F.
    2. Place the egg whites in a large bowl and using a handheld mixer whip the whites on medium speed for 3 to 4 minutes or until the whites begin to lighten up and hold their shape.
    3. Increase speed to high and whip in the salt and honey until the whites hold a soft peak, then add the vanilla extract.
    4. Fold in the yogurt.
    5. In a separate medium mixing bowl combine the flour and baking powder and mix well.
    6. Sift the dry ingredients into the egg whites a little at a time, gently folding them in with a rubber spatula.
    7. Once fully incorporated, scoop the batter into cupcake tins lined with cupcake papers.
    8. Bake the cupcakes for 15 to 20 minutes or until they have colored and gently spring back when pushed with a finger.
    9. Remove from the oven and cool the cupcakes at room temp.
    10. While the cupcakes are baking, puree the raspberries in a blender until smooth.
    11. Pass through a fine mesh strainer into a small saucepot and cook over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes or until the puree reduces slightly.
    12. Cool completely.
    13. Place the cream cheese into a medium mixing bowl and fold the puree into the cream cheese until fully mixed.
    14. Once cupcakes are cool, spread a little of the berry frosting over the cupcakes, garnish each with one raspberry and serve.

    Cake Mix + Diet Soda

    PER SERVING (1 piece, 1/12th of cake): 171 calories, 3.25g fat, 301mg sodium, 34g carbs, <0.5g fiber, 19g sugars, 1.5g protein -- POINTS® value 4*

    Ingredients:
    One 18.25-oz. box moist-style cake mix
    One 12-oz. can diet soda

    Directions:
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    Combine ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk thoroughly and transfer to a baking pan sprayed with nonstick spray; bake in the oven until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. (Refer to cake-mix box for pan size and approximate bake time.)

    MAKES 12 SERVINGS

    Best Flavor Combo: Yellow cake mix + diet cream soda. Runners-up include lemon cake mix + diet lemon-lime soda and devil's food cake mix + diet cherry cola.

    The Texture: Moist and light.

    The Taste: Pretty darn impressive! However, if you're sensitive to the sweetener in diet soda, you may notice a slight aftertaste... especially if you use cola of any kind.

    I have made these and even added some semisweet chocolate chips. They don't add too many calories and add a little character. No icing required but fat free whipped cream is tasty! I liked the white cake mix combined with diet sunkist, it was a hit!

    Just take a basic cake mix and subsitute the milk/water/eggs for a diet pop/soda. No kidding! It's awesome. I recently made red velvet cupcakes using plain mix and diet cream soda.


    Next I want to try a lemon cake mix with diet 7 Up. Yum!
