LOW CALORIE RED VELVET CUPCAKES

LOW CALORIE RED VELVET CUPCAKES

But, here is the problem. If you’re a sweet-toothed cake-aholic person just like me, not fitting in your favorite jeans is just a matter of few of these sugar-loaded goodies (300+ cal/cupcake).

Red Velvet Cake is my weakness and I can’t think of a better cake to eat on Valentine’s Day. Topped with low fat cream cheese frosting you wouldn’t even know these are light
Hmmm, so now what! Worry not. I’m going to share a recipe that tastes just like the classic red velvet cupcakes, but it’s much healthier with less fattier ingredients. They’re super tender, full of flavor and topped with low fat cream cheese frosting.
Now you can enjoy a delicious treat with less guilt!
