Sugar Free Diet Cupcake Recipe

Ingredients:
Cupcakes - 
Pillsbury Devils Cake Mix
1 Can Diet Cherry Dr. Pepper (or any flavored soda)
Filling - 
1 bag frozen Cherries
Truvia (or sugar)
Directions: 

Before: For the Filling:
 Dump the bag of Cherries into a bowl
Add about 6-8 packets of truvia
Llet it sit for atleast 4 hours. (I let mine sit overnight in the fridge, covered.) You want it to get liquidy, like syrup! 
Preheat Oven To 325*
Mix the dry mix, with the 1 can (not bottle! You only need 12 oz of liquid!) of Diet Soda.
Mix it up really good
Bake for about 18-20 mins
Make sure to use cupcake liners because sometimes the batter can stick, & that's NO good! The liners help a whole heck of a lot. 

After you bake your cupcakes, let them cool.
Use a knife (I used a small measuring spoon) to cut or spoon out the center, but not all the way to the bottom.
Make it so the cupcake looks like a bowl. But be careful with the piece you are cutting off, because you're going to put it back on top, after.
 Scoop 1-2 cherries w/ the juices it made with the splenda into the center. Place the piece of cupcake you cut out, back on top. 

Dust the cupcakes with just a little powdered sugar, instead of frosting! 

Tips:
I use the Pillsbury Devils Food Cake mix. It's Sugar free. 120 calories a serving (60 Calories per cupcake!), if you don't use eggs or oil. (package says the serving size is 1/12th of the package, and the box mix easily made 24 cupcakes. Just don't overfill the cups) 
Super easy, and only about 65 calories in each cupcake! Guilt-free, and delicious!
