Frosted Chocolate-Buttermilk Cupcakes
Dutch-process cocoa powder has a more mellow flavor and darker color than regular cocoa powder, which works well in this recipe.

My bunch loves these cup cakes. I even have a grandson that isn't big on cakes and sweet baked good but he loves these cupcakes. It is good knowing I can make a sweet that is a little healthier.

I wasn't overwhelmed by this recipe. I guess it's ok for low fat but I probably wouldn't make these again.

Hi.. how come when I baked this the top of my cupcake is hard. I followed every step in this recipe. I don't know what went wrong. Although I changed the oven temperature from 350 degrees to 175 celcius. Help!

These cupcakes are killer w/ some minor changes: Add 6 Tbsp of oil w/butter and during cocoa process, add dry choco pudding. This will keep the cupcakes extra moist and turn out extra chocolately!

I made these but instead of the cream-cheese icing , I used Martha's buttercream frosting - I got rave reviews from all my friends. I guess the buttercream defeats the purpose of making a "light" cupcake...but they were wonderful!

I made these last night and they were very good for a lower fat recipe. You may need more frosting if you follow the cream cheese recipe.

These are SO good and SO easy. They were a BIG hit in my church group from the kids and the adults. I frosted with real butter cream frosting, not the low-fat recipe - so that negated the light-ness, but super good

Does anyone know what size ice cream scoop to use? They come in many different sizes in the cooking stores and I was just wondering which is the best for cupcakes.

Very easy to make and a healthier alternative to regular chocolate cupcakes. Using buttermilk is a brilliant idea and the cream cheese frosting makes them taste decadent, not health conscious.

For those on WW these are 4 pts for one and 7.5 pts for 2 (with frosting).

Great cupcake for SuperBowl Sunday. Among all the sweets, no one knew this one was light! This one's a definite TOUCHDOWN!

A perfect cupcake! I may never buy cupcakes from grocery store bakeries again. Even though the cocoa I used wasn't the dutch-process kind, these cupcakes were still quite tasty. Also, I used low-fat buttermilk. I piped on the "Swiss Meringue Buttercream for White Cupcakes", using the star tip on my pastry bag. A little more practice and they'll be bakery-beautiful! For now, who cares what they look like... YUM!!!

FOR ALL YOU FAT-FOOD LOVERS, LIKE ME, GO TO THE BOOK STORE AND ASK THE CLERK FOR BOOKS ON COUNTING CALORIES, CARBS, ETC. AND COUNT FOR YOURSELF. BUT IT DOES TAKE PATIENCE ON YOUR PART. I LEARNED SO I KNOW YOU CAN. ANYONE CAN IF I CAN

These were very tasty! I also wish the dietary facts were available. I realize that they are low in fat but what about everything else? My kids loved them though, and I felt a little better about serving them since they weren't so fattening.
