The 73 Calorie Cupcake! Yes! Includes the Frosting!!


Quote  |  Reply

Ok, I got inventive and made some cupcakes using Angel Food Cake mix last night. We made a wonderful set of 32 cupcakes out of this box! And yes, with 1 Tbsp of the 'frosting' I have below, you get only 72.5 calories PER TREAT!! How wonderful! They are quite delicious so I recommend these only if you have some self control. Or those 72.5 will quickly add up to 145, 217.5, 290, etc. Laughing

Perfect treat to take along to any social gathering this spring/summer! To make them extra pretty, I would suggest slicing up a peach in thin slices and adding 1 thin slice atop the frosting on each cupcake. (or a thin slice of any replacement fruit you love) Though, this has not been added into the calorie count, it can't add but a tiny bit more. (A whole peach is only 61 calories!) This would be easy to substitute any favorite Jell-o flavor or fruit. But here's my recipe for:

PEACH ANGEL FOOD CUPCAKES

What you need:

1 Box of Betty Crocker Angel Food Cake

1 small box of Peach Jell-o (I used regular, but you could try sugar free for even fewer calories) dry--not prepared!

1 cup & 1 Tbsp water

1 medium peach (peeled and minced into small pieces)

1 tub of LIGHT Cool Whip

Take the chopped up peaches, put them in a large bowl. Add the cake mix, 3 tbsp of the dry peach jell-o mix, all the water (1c and 1 Tbsp) and mix together. Fill cupcake liners/pan 3/4 full. Put in the overn at 375 for roughly 12-15 minutes. Ready when lightly browned top. REFRIGERATE REMAINING MIXTURE WHILE YOU ARE BAKING A BATCH! We were able to make 32 cupcakes with this last night! Cool cakes completely. Mix the remainder of the jell-o mix into the tub of coolwhip. Gives it a slight color and hint of peachy taste. When cakes are cooled, spread 1 tbsp of cool whip mix atop each cupcake. ENJOY! They really are delightful!
