These are not your typical cupcakes. They are great as far as a low fat cupcake, but I wouldn't say they taste like cake but rather angel food cake. Just not what I was looking for, as far as taste goes. On a side note, they are one point on weight watchers. Also, the recipe never says when to add the lemon juice and vanilla extract to the mixture. I added it with the egg whites.
