Low Fat Low Calorie Devil's Food Cupcakes (from a mix)]


18 1/4 ounces devil's food cake mix


6 large egg whites


2 (2 1/4 ounce) jars pureed carrot baby food


1 1/3 cups water


1 1/4 teaspoons instant coffee granules


Frosting


4 ounces light cream cheese (neufchatel cheese)


3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar


2 tablespoons skim milk


1/2 teaspoon vanilla


1 cup Cool Whip Free, thawed





Stir together the cake mix, egg whites, carrots, water, and coffee. Using an electric mixer, beat on low speed for 30 seconds to blend slightly. Increase the speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes. Spoon the batter into 24 muffin cups that have been sprayed with nonstick spray. Bake for 20 minutes at 325 or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Put the pans on cooling racks and let stand for 15 minutes. Remove cupcakes from pans and allow to cool. In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, confectioner's sugar, milk, and vanilla. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium speed until smooth. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the Cool Whip. Cover and refrigerate until needed. Top each cupcake with 1 tablespoon topping.





Fruity Vanilla Cupcakes


2 egg whites


2 cups granulated sugar


2 cups flour


2 teaspoons baking soda


1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple (if you don't have crushed, sliced works fine)


1 teaspoon vanilla extract





Heat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line cupcake pan with liners and grease. Beat eggs and sugar together well (the recipe says with an electric mixer, but I just beat the heck out of it with a wire whisk). mix in the flour and baking soda. If the pineapple is not pre-crushed use your wire whisk to press down into the can over and over again until the pineapple is in small chunks. Then add the whole can (juice and all) to the mixture and vanilla; stir well. Pour into liners and place in oven. Cooking time really depends on your oven. Check them every couple minutes until lightly browning on the tops.





2 large egg whites, room temperature


8 ounces fat-free cream cheese, room temperature


1/3 cup sugar


1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract


1 ounce chocolate chips


CUPCAKE BATTER


1 1/2 cups flour


1/4 cup cocoa powder


1/2 teaspoon salt


1 teaspoon baking soda


1 teaspoon baking powder


1 cup sugar


1 cup water


1/2 cup nonfat yogurt


1 teaspoon vanilla extract


vegetable oil cooking spray





Begin preheating the oven to 350 degrees. In the small bowl of an electric mixer beat the egg whites until foamy, add the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth. Stir in the choclate chips. Set aside. Into a medium bowl whisk or stir together the flour, cocoa, salt, baking soda and baking powder until well combined, about 15-20 seconds. In a large bowl whisk together the sugar, water, yogurt and vanilla until the sugar has dissolved, about 30 seconds. Add the dry ingredients and stir and whisk until the dry ingredients are just moistened, about 20 seconds. Lightly spray the inside of 20 foil cupcake cups with the vegetable oil. Fill each cup about half-full of batter. Top each with 1 tablespoon of the filling. Dust each cupcake top with 1/4+ teaspoon of the pecans. Bake for 25-28 minutes or until the top springs back when gently pressed. Remove from the oven and cool.
