Hey Guys--

I wanted to know if anyone has a good recipe for a low fat "diet" cup cake. Either something chocolatey or red velvety would be great. Any suggestions?

    have you ever heard of diet soda cake? (I have made it in a cake pan but I dont see why you couldn't convert it into a cupcake) Just mix 1 box of cake mix with 1 can of diet soda (keep dark mixes with dark soda or even mix!) and bake at 350! I top mine off with whipped cream.. my favorite combo is a chocolate cake mix with diet cherry coke!

    I posted on my blog a few days ago that I made angel food cupcakes topped with cool whip and fresh strawberries... kids loved them but they weren't as dense as the kind you're looking for (chocolate or red velvet).

    These are my favorite: pina colada cupcakes. They're delicious! The recipe is found here:

    And FYI - the whole website has tons of fantastic recipes.

    I think I may have to make some tomorrow - looking at the photos again has made me drool. Enjoy!

    This might not be what you're looking for, but you could try black bean brownies!

    i JUST finished making rainbow cupcakes using white cake mix and sprite zero! around 100 calories per cupcake. made my own frosting too - fat free cool whip with fat free/sugar free vanilla pudding mix. so good!

    look at this website for more - http://www.omnomicon.com/rainbowcake

    You can take any box cake (chocolate, red velvet, etc), add a diet soda (Coke or Pepsi, for instance), mix it in, and bake according to directions. You don't need to add oil or egg. The cake will be a bit more more crumbly, but that doesn't really matter with cupcakes. For frosting, use a reduced fat cream cheese, mix with a cup of powdered sugar and a teaspoon of vanilla--it's lower in fat than the canned frosting. You can also top with fat free whipped topping. I started making cakes/cupcakes this way for my son, who is allergic to eggs.

    BTW, to make low fat brownies, get your favorite box of brownie mix and a can of black beans. Drain and rinse the beans, add to a blender. Add a can full of water to blender. Puree the beans with the water. Add to the brownie mix and bake as directed. I bake my brownies in muffin tins for portion control.

    I believe both these easy low fat foods are in the My Fitness Pal database, but if not, you can just create the recipe!

    Enjoy!
