Skinny Chocolate Cupcakes
Description
This recipe simplifies chocolate cupcakes by substituting traditional ingredients with Diet Coke added directly to the boxed cake mix. The liquid soda provides moisture and lift, resulting in cupcakes with a soft crumb and chocolate flavor. Baking in liners ensures easy portioning and cleanup.
The cupcakes bake in about 17 to 20 minutes and lightly rise with a slightly browned surface. Their texture is tender without being dense. They can be served as-is for a less sweet treat or optionally topped with a light dollop of whipped topping or dusted with powdered sugar for extra appeal.
These cupcakes are practical for those seeking a lighter dessert or a large batch of chocolate cupcakes with minimal ingredients. Their simplicity means they can be quickly made without mixing multiple ingredients or elaborate frostings.
Consider topping with low-calorie options like Reddi-wip for a lighter frosting alternative.
Ingredients
- 1 chocolate cake mix
- 1 Diet Coke 12 oz, can
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the can of diet coke and the cake mix until well combined.
- Place cupcake liners in a cupcake pan. Pour the batter into the liners, filling them up approximately 3/4 of the way full. The batter will make 20-22 cupcakes.
- Bake for 17-20 minutes or until they start to brown and rise slightly.
- Allow the cupcakes to cool slightly. These are delicious served as it or top with a small amount of powdered sugar. Enjoy!
Notes
- Consider topping with low-calorie options like Reddi-wip for a lighter frosting alternative.
