Angel Food Cupcakes

"These come out very well, and are great with strawberries on top. Pretty too."

INGREDIENTS

* 1 (18.25 ounce) package angel food cake mix

the mix made 29 cupcakes






DIRECTIONS


1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a 12 cup muffin tin with paper bake cups.
2. Prepare batter as directed on the box. Fill muffin cups 2/3 full.
3. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until done.


"One of my friends had suggested to fill the cupcake holders all the way full so make a bigger cupcake. I don't recommend this. I did it with my first batch and it was too much cake mix. The tops of the cupcakes ballooned out and ran into each other. I had to use a knife to seperate them from each other and then had to chisel the cupcakes off the muffin pan to get them out. The rest I filled at 3/4 full and they turned out perfect. Bigger than the 2/3 suggested in the recipe but smaller than filling them all the way and I had no problem getting them out of the muffin pan..
Hope you all like it.."

Sugar Free Blueberry Coffee Cake

"A fabulous blueberry coffee cake with a crumb topping. This recipe is one from a local B&B that I replaced all the sugar with substitutes because I have diabetes.
