    directions -

    Cupcakes

    1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease two 12 cup muffin tins or use liners.

    2. In small bowl combine cocoa, red food color and vanilla, set aside.

    3. In large bowl beat together butter and granulated sugar for 3 minutes. Add yolks one at a time and beat well after each addition. Add cocoa mixture and blend well.

    4. In another bowl, whisk egg whites with buttermilk. Combine Stevia Extract In The Raw, baking powder, and salt with cake flour. Add buttermilk mixture and flour mixture to cocoa mixture, alternating a third at a time beating after each addition. Combine baking soda and vinegar then add to batter and blend well. Beat for an additional 2 minutes.

    5. Fill each muffin tin 2/3 full with batter. Bake 13-15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

    6. Remove from oven and let cool 5-10 minutes before removing from tins. Cool cupcakes on rack before frosting.


    Cream cheese frosting

    In a medium bowl combine all ingredients and blend well. Makes enough frosting for 36 cupcakes.

    (This confused me. I'd adjust proportions so you end up with exactly as much frosting you need without any extra. The caloric guide says each cupcake gets 1 1/2 tablespoons frosting, though I did use more.)
