I am so excited to share this recipe with you! Anyone who knows me well, knows that although I make attempts at baking, it is almost a mistake when my baking actually comes out well! Thanks to my friend, Katie, at You Brew My Tea, I was able to make these Old Glory cupcakes for the 4th of July! She started me out with a basic white cake recipe that I altered a little bit after I tried the first time and failed. I wanted to keep them low sugar since I am diabetic, so I tried this recipe with full strength stevia sugar such as Truvia. I found that they just didnāt quite taste right, (not her fault-totally all me!) so I decided the second time to do half stevia and half sugar and I think they came out amazing! The second time around I used Truvia and fine baking sugar.
Let me tell you-these are the most delicious cupcakes ever! They are so moist and the texture is so great on them-almost like a muffin! And if a baking school drop-out like myself can do this recipe, anyone can!
For the frosting, she gave me a great recipe, but I managed to mess it up somehow, so I went with just using some sugar free frosting and whipping it up to make it light and airy. You really could do this recipe for any season and with any colors, but since the 4th of July is on itās way in a couple weeks, I was feeling patriotic so I went with Red, White and Blue!

Glad they are low in sugar! Most commercial cupcakes are overloaded with sugar but I think a little goes a long way.
