    Sprinkles in Beverly Hills makes a very popular Red Velvet cupcake. People line up outside to buy one of these yummers. I thought it might be fun to remake them skinny! They taste sinfully delicious when frosted with my Skinny Cream Cheese Frosting. And, one of these dreamy cakes has 225 calories, 7.7g fat and 6 Weight Watchers POINTS PLUS. Just one of Sprinkles Red Velvet cupcakes has 497 calories and almost 27 grams of fat!

    Ingredients

    • Cake Ingredients
    • 1 (18.25 ounces) Duncan Hines Devils Food Cake Mix
    • 1 (3.4 oz) package of instant chocolate pudding mix
    • 1 cup buttermilk
    • ½ cup warm water
    • ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
    • 2 tablespoons canola oil
    • 1 ounce bottle of red food coloring
    • 2 eggs, I love Egg-Land’s Best eggs
    • 2 whites
    • Skinny Cream Cheese Frosting Ingredients
    • 4 ounces (½ of an 8 ounce package of reduced-fat cream cheese)
    • 1½ cup powdered sugar
    • 1 tablespoon reduced-fat milk
    • Valentine candy for decorations, if desired

    Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray. Line the cups with cupcake papers.
    2. In an electric mixer or using a hand mixer, combine all of the cupcake ingredients except the eggs and whites. Beat well.
    3. Add the eggs and egg whites and beat well.
    4. Fill each cupcake cup just to the top. Do not mound or over fill5. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let them cool before frosting. Bake the remaining 6 cupcakes and cool.
    5. To make the frosting-using a mixer, whip the cream cheese until smooth. Add the powder sugar, milk and mix until smooth. It should be quite thick.
    6. Frost each cupcake and decorate with a Valentine candy, red and pink sugar or sprinkles, if desired.
    7. Store in the refrigerator.
