Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 ½ cups cake flour
½ cup unsweetened cocoa
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 cup canola oil
1 cup applesauce
1 ⅛ cups Truvia® Baking Blend
3 eggs
⅛ cup red food coloring (see note)
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla
1 cup buttermilk
2 ½ teaspoons vinegar
16 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese
⅓ cup Truvia® Baking Blend
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt in large bowl.
  • Combine oil, applesauce and Truvia® Baking Blend in a separate large mixing bowl. Blend in eggs. Carefully add red food coloring and vanilla while mixing at low speed.
  • Combine the buttermilk and vinegar. Then add half of the flour mixture and half of the buttermilk mixture to the oil mixture at a time and mix just until combined.
  • Fill paper lined or greased cups 3/4 full with batter.
  • Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cupcakes comes out clean.
  • Frosting: Mix cream cheese and Truvia® Baking Blend at low speed for 1 minute. Add the vanilla and mix for another minute at low to medium speed or until creamy and smooth. Add 1 teaspoon of milk, if desired, for thinner spreading consistency.
  • Frost the cooled cupcakes.
