    So I made this last night with devils food cake (though I think next time I will use "regular" chocolate cake, I like the flavor better) and added about a 1/2 cup of water along with the pumpkin and baked it in a 13x 9 pan...it turned out really good and moist, it did taste "low fat" to me, but it was still good. I put a dollop of vanilla nonfat greek yogurt on top...it was yummy...today I drizzled some peanut butter (no sugar, unblanched) and it was awesome that way! It added a few more cals, but I have some to spare for the day...I can't wait to try this method with other mixes!

    Here's a pic of it with the yogurt on it (hope it works) - http://bit.ly/SpvgX4


    Thanks OP for the recipe :)

    I like the sounds of this recipe. I'm going to try it with a gluten free chocolate cake mix, should work the same right?

    Here is a very yummy low calorie chocolate frosting recipe; if you felt inclined to top them, even though its not necessary ;)
    additional calories brought on by the frosting would be 43 per cupcake if you used it all to cover the 24 cupcakes. I have a feeling it will go even further then 24 though.

    here's the recipe...

    Healthy Chocolate Buttercream Frosting

    Not only does this recipe contain no added dairy sugar or soy but it is chock full of antioxidants and vitamin A from sweet potato!. The sweet potato give it a creamy texture and body while the dates help sweeten it a bit more. If you are on a diet that limits intake of fruit-sugars (like anti-candida diets), then try substituting the pureed dates for alcohol free liquid stevia.

    INGREDIENTS
    2/3 cup mashed baked sweet potato
    1/4 - 1//2 cup pitted dates
    1/4 cup cocoa powder
    3 tbl coconut oil
    2 tbl nutbutter of choice
    1/2 cup dairy free milk (coconut or almond)
    1 tsp vanilla

    TOTAL TIME 10 MIN
    YIELD: 1 CUP FROSTING

    In a saucepan melt coconut oil and whisk in cocoa powder to make a chocolate syrup.

    In a blender blend together the dates and milk to create a sweet milk. Blend until smooth. More dates will create a sweeter frosting less dates a darker frosting.

    Add sweet potato, nutbutter, vanilla to the blender and blend until smooth.

    Use right away or keep in the refrigerator for later use. Frosting will thicken as it gets colder

    dls06 posted this chocolate cupcake recipe. I just want to say thank you, I made it gluten free using the below ingredients. Mine had to bake a lot longer and I must have made mine bigger or my brownie mix was less in net weight because the recipe yielded 12 cupcakes. But I still feel the calorie count was quite workable into a lifestyle that includes exercise :) So thank you again for sharing this wonderful idea.

    Ingredients
    Libby's - 100% Pure Pumpkin- 15 oz Can
    1 box 17.5 oz Arrowhead Mills Gluten Free Fudge Brownie mix


    I used a standard size Ice Cream scoop to put into cupcake cups

    Yields 12 generous size cupcakes

    Bake 350 degrees for 40-45 min or until toothpick comes out almost clean.
