I'm an experienced baker, with "real" sugar; for personal reasons 'sugar-free treats' has become my latest passion in the kitchen. I've shared some creations with a child in my daughter's class. I wanted to make sure he was included in her birthday celebration, instead of having a snack from his lunchbox while all the other kids had cupcakes in an ice cream cone. Note: first tweak- ice cream cones (also sugar free) instead of papers *This eliminates the sticking that Usually occurs with fat-free muffins & cakes. just now (pending moderation) Tweak 1: Ice cream cones instead of papers Tweak 2: Stevia instead of Splenda Tweak 3: fat-free sour cream instead of yogurt Tweak 4: Not so much a tweak as an experiment in Baker's Math ;) * I had Barely 1/4 cup of "sugar" to start so I did my very best to "just barely third" all other ingredients Except the vanilla- I used a plump teaspoon. Vanilla cake is NOT my forte and they usually come out tasting floury to me. I was impressed with the flavor in the final outcome; as was the boy they were made for. Complete with smiles and literal "nom-nom"-ing as he ate :D There were 3 (and a 1/3 for my tasting) perfect little treats in the end. Maybe next time I'll try a sugar-free icing... Great recipe!

UGH, I am sure that the people who can't have sugar are used to the texture of desserts made with Splenda, but these cupcakes were not for me - nor for anyone else at work. They rose up nicely in the oven then promptly fell once they came out. Good thing I had the Absolutely Sugar Free Frosting Recipe #123602 to cover them up. Had a couple people say the frosting was good but not one compliment on the cupcakes themselves and these guys will eat ANYTHING!! I'll keep trying to find a sugar free dessert for the guys.

I love cooking. When it comes to recipes, I usually only use them for baking, and even then often end up changing them a fair bit. All of my baking is vegan.
