Wait, did I miss something here? ... Where's the frosting? ... That's the whole point of a cupcake, or a cake in general ... THE FROSTING ... Who cares about the cake itself, after all, cake is just a vehicle for frosting ... A cupcake without frosting is just a muffin ...0

I made a variation of these tonight...HOLY MOLY they are excellent! I love the soft velvety texture of them. I made mine as regular sized cupcakes and they came out to just 94 cals each (and that's including the glaze I made)!
Here's my version:
1/2 box Betty Crocker Supermoist Cherry Chip Cake Mix
6 oz container Yoplait very cherry light yogurt
2 egg whites
1/2 cup water
Mix all ingredients together. Line 12 cupcake tins with liners and divide batter between cups. Bake at 350* for about 20 minutes. Let cool.
Glaze:
46 grams powdered sugar
1/2 tbsp. maraschino cherry juice (or you could use grenadine, or cherry syrup, such as Torani or DaVinci brand)
1/2 tbsp. milk
1/2 tsp almond extract
Mix all ingredients for glaze in a bowl and drizzle evenly on top of cooled cupcakes. I put my cupcakes in the fridge after glazing for about 10 minutes to let the glaze harden up a bit.
These are absolutely DELICIOUS!!!
Very clever! Thanks for the recipe and to all for the great ideas and variations! Missed this last summer so now I'm thinking of an autumnal version...maybe spice cake or carrot cake with a pretty spot of Cool Whip cream cheese frosting piped on to hold one lovely pecan or a dusting of chopped pecans (or maybe I could make the clever glaze with cinnamon instead of cherry). Making the cake with vanilla yogurt would work, but wondering if anyone has a more decadent yogurt flavor to recommend?0 -

This is my all time favorite recipe ever! It's so simple to make, it comes out so creamy and soft everytime, and there are so many different variations you can make of it!
Skinny Mini Cupcakes
Yield: 48 cupcakes
Ingredients
For Cupcakes:
½ box cake mix (dry mix only)
2 egg whites
½ cup water
1 6 ounce container yogurt the same flavor as the cake mix
1 tsp vanilla
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Using cupcake liners, line two mini muffin pans with cupcake liners and set aside.
3. In a stand up mixer or using a hand mixer, mix dry cake mix, vanilla, egg whites, yogurt, and water until well mixed. Mix around 2-3 minutes.
4. Using a spoon, evenly fill cupcake liners with cake batter.
5. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center of cupcake comes out clean.
and thats it! No joke! That's all! I got this recipe from this link "http://www.skinnymom.com/2013/04/15/skinny-mini-red-velvet-cupcakes" but its just so free to alter!
When I first tried it, I made the red velvet cupcakes as the recipe says and for one cupcake it was 26 Calories, 4 Carbs, 1 Fat, 1 Protein, 3 Sugar, 1 Calcium.... YES ONLY 26 CALORIES!
I got so excited I couldn't believe it! The yogurt gave it a bright red color and it was so soft and creamy! Not only is it healthy it was the best red velvet anything I've ever had!!!!
So it got me thinking, what if I could make other type of cupcakes with this? And right away I had to try another recipe!
Next I made vanilla cupcakes (using Pillsbury Traditional Yellow Cake Mix and Dannon Light & Fit Vanilla yogurt) and they had the same creamy consistency! They were amazing! and guess what! These ones were only 19 calories! (19 Calories, 4 Carbs, 0 Fat, 1 Protein, 2 Sugar, 1 Calcium)
I can't wait to try out this recipe with more flavors, like lemon, orange, or banana! My next adventure will probably be strawberry! I also wanna try chocolate cake mix with cherry yogurt to see if it tastes like cherries and chocolate (that's my favorite flavor anything)
That's it for now, but seriously you NEED to try this out. K bye! (:0 -
