So many people have been asking for this recipe. Thought I'd post it!


Sugar Free "Diet" Cupcake Recipe:
I bought the Pillsbury Devils Food Cake mix. It's Sugar free. 120 calories a serving (60 Calories per cupcake!), if you don't use eggs or oil. (package says the serving size is 1/12th of the package, and the box mix easily made 24 cupcakes. Just don't overfill the cups)

All you need is the dry mix, & 1 can of any flavored diet soda. I used Diet Cherry Dr. Pepper. AMAZING!...

Usually I use a Diet Cherry Coke, or a Diet Cream Soda, but The Dr. Pepper worked SO amazingly. Chocolate and Cherry just go together SO well.

Anyway, you just mix the dry mix, with the 1 can (not bottle! You only need 12 oz of liquid!) of Diet Soda. Mix it up really good, & bake for about 18 minutes at 325.

Make sure to use cupcake liners because sometimes the batter can stick, & that's NO good! The liners help a whole heck of a lot.

I bought a bag of frozen, no sugar added Dark Red Cherries. 250 calories in the whole bag. Dumped the bag into a bowl, added about 6-8 packets of splenda, and let it sit for atleast 4 hours. (I let mine sit overnight in the fridge, covered.) You want it to get liquidy, like syrup!

After you bake your cupcakes, let them cool. Use a knife (I used a small measuring spoon) to cut or spoon out the center, but not all the way to the bottom. Make it so the cupcake looks like a bowl. But be careful with the piece you are cutting off, because you're going to put it back on top, after.

Scoop 1-2 cherries w/ the juices it made with the splenda into the center. Place the piece of cupcake you cut out, back on top.

Dust the cupcakes with just a little powdered sugar, instead of frosting!

Super easy, and only about 65 calories in each cupcake! Guilt-free, and delicious!

Enjoy!

60 Calories for Dry Mix
0 Calories for Diet Soda
1 Calorie for dusting of Powdered Sugar
4 Calories for Cherry
0 Calories for Splenda

    Bump. That sounds amazing. Not a big fan of cherries, but I could definitely experiment if a strawberry shortcake or pineapple upside down cake type of combo.

    WOW... I have made a cake like this before... but yours sounds way more yummy! I didn't even think about adding fruit. I made that cake before starting this plan.

    My favorite cake:

    Lemon Cake with Diet Sunkist -- used a little orange juice and powdered sugar to make a glaze (though thinking about it now, you could use some orange Crystal Light for the liquid)

    Again though... yours sounds soooo yummy! I'm really wanting some dark cherries now!

    Thanks for sharing!

    "bumping" is when you reply to a thread to keep it at the top of new threads, so other people can find it easily.
