This is such an easy recipe, and beyond delish! I can’t believe it but these taste like the full fat cupcakes that you get in the bakery but they are not! Check out the easy-peasy recipe on how I was able to bring down the fat and calories and still produce the moist delicious red velvet cupcake we all know and love. Using a cake mix is just great. Always comes out just perfect.  You’re going to go wild for the creamy marshmallow frosting too.
