    Have you tried the pumpkin with devils food cake mix?

    My coworkers love it. Even the ones not watching their calories. They can't believe its low cal.

    Pineapple Angel Food Cupcakes

    1 box Duncan Hines Angel Food cake (add water only kind)
    1 20 oz. can crushed pineapple in its own juice.

    Mix dry cake mix and pineapple together (no water). Fill cupcakes 2/3 full. Place batter in fridge between batches and it bakes better. Bake at 350 degrees for about 25 min or golden brown.

    Delish and only 69 calories each, fat free! I put the nutritional content in the food data base under "generic pineapple angel food cupcakes". Enjoy!

    I am an owner of a cupcake shop... There was a gal that came in that wanted me to estimate the calories in one of our cupcakes. We said "thou shall not count calories in a cupcake shop. My suggestion to help make them more healthy for you is to (for scratch recipes) use a sugar subsitute like xylatol (my fave). Dentist approved acts and tastes like the real deal with out the funky aftertaste. Also sub oil for apple sauce is another good one. Recipes that call for oil give a moist cake compared to recipes that contain butter. Apple sauce will give you a VERY moist cake :)
