The 73 Calorie Cupcake! Yes! Includes the Frosting!!
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. ![]()
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!
Oooh, I bet raspberries would be delicious!
