Red Velvet Cupcakes

These cupcakes are so moist and delicious and guilt free.
Cupcakes:
1 c pillsbury reduced sugar devil's food
1 c pillsbury reduced sugar classic yellow
2- 25 calorie diet hot cocoa mix packets
1/2 c fat free liquid egg substitute
1/4 c mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
1/2 oz red food coloring
1 tsp splenda
1/8 tsp salt
  • Place half of your chocolate chips (2 Tbsp) and the contents of both cocoa packets in a tall glass. Add 12 ounces of boiling water, and stir until chips and cocoa mix have dissolved.
  • Place glass in the freezer until mixture is cold (about 30 minutes). Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Once the cocoa in the freezer has chilled, give it a stir, and pour it into a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the cake mixes, egg substitute, remaining chocolate chips, red food coloring, 1 tsp Splenda, and salt.
  • Using a whisk or fork mix batter for about 2 minutes (until smooth and blended).
  • Line a 12 cup muffin pan with baking cups and spray lightly with nonstick spray ( or simply spray the pan).
  • Evenly spoon batter into the pan. Place pan in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. Cupcakes will look shiny when done.
  • Once cupcakes have cooled completely, evenly frost with cream cheese icing. (I used store bought whipped cream cheese icing to save time)
  • Made approximately 16 cupcakes
