Skinny Funfetti Cupcakes
I am a huge fan of cupcakes and if I am going to make a healthier version I want them to taste like the real thing and these definitely do. These cupcakes only take two ingredients, and honestly you will not believe how moist and rich they taste.

I didn't think you could cook with the diet soda because of the aspartane, but I could be wrong. Those sound so wonderful. I may have to try devil's food made with a cherry coke.

Does it have to be Duncan Hines cake mix or can you use another brand? Also, will diet coke turn the cupcakes a dark color?
