WOW!!! Must try this recipe. Easy to make, bakes fluffy & moist. No one can tell this is a low fat, low calorie.
I used Pillsbury Moist Supreme Sugar Free Devil’s food cake mix and Truvia as the sugar substitute. DELICIOUS!!

Yum! These were yummy! Even my sister, who is not very healthy loved them! The only issue I had was my icing melted, I used 1 percent milk, instead, because I did not have fat free or soy. Could the type of milk I used have something to do with it? They were fine for a while but by the next day the icing was completely gone.
I made these cupcakes with my 8 year old twins…what a fun recipe to do with kids. They loved decorating them. They were delish and you would never know that they are lo cal! The only problem I had was with the marshmallow creme. I couldn’t get the right consistency. But they were wonderful anyway and I would make them again for any occasion. Hungry Girl, I LOVE your show and simple, yummy and easy recipes like this one!
Rave reviews from my family. Easy to make and I had all of the ingredients at home!! NICE!!
very simple and soooo delicious :
We were thrilled to find such an easy and delicious recipe! Our 16 year old daughter was just successful this summer at wellness camp losing a significant amount of weight, and our entire family is now following a low fat, lower calorie diet packed with fresh fruits, veggies and lean meats. These cupcakes are moist and do not taste “diet” at all and would be perfect for parties, potlucks, etc. Highly recommend!!!
I made this recipe and really enjoyed it. My husband was super happy to have a homemade dessert again!
Laverne, the latest thing I have heard on being overweight is that it’s just as unhealthy as smoking cigarettes. I prefer to occasionally use sugar substitute and other “chemicals” to help me lose weight, and by the way, both my physician and my nutritionist recommended the use of artificial sweeteners. I’ve already lost 21 pounds – only have 12 more to go – using Splenda helped me get where I am. No one is saying you have to use sweeteners. If you can come up with dessert recipes that are tasty and also low in calories and fat, I’d love to see it.
LOVE THIS RECIPE,VERY EASY LOVE THE CHOCLATE RECIPES. KEEP THEM COMEING.
