| Red Velvet Cake is my weakness and I can't think of a better cake to eat on Valentine's Day. My 16 year old daughter started a baking blog called Pastries of a Chocoholic a few weeks ago (she's the baker in my house) and her red velvet cupcakes are amazing! I made it my mission this week to make a skinnier version of them for this week's post. It's always a challenge to lower the fat in baking so when these came out of the oven (fingers were crossed the whole time) I was so happy to see perfectly baked cupcakes. Topped with low fat cream cheese frosting you wouldn't even know these are light. Servings: 26 • Serving Size: 1 cupcake • Calories: 141 • Points: 3 pts • Points+: 4 pts | |
