"Healthified red velvet cake", says you, "HECK YES" says I! This was awesome! I could not tell that the cake was mixed solely with Dr. Pepper- it tasted completely normal. It wasn't dry or too moist... It was great. Also, the Jello pudding was really good too. Now of course, you can definitely tell that it isn't traditional cream cheese icing, but it's a good substitute. One thing to remember- the Jello box will tell you to use 2x as much milk as the recipe calls for, but just use 2 cups. This makes it thicker and intensifies the flavor. Also, I made mine into cupcakes instead of a cake. As you may be able to tell in the photo, the cupcakes came apart a lot in the pan when I tried to take them out. I'm not sure why that happened or how to keep it from happening again. It's not that they were sticking to the pan, they just crumbled when I tried to pull them out. It turned out fine though- as you can see in the pic, I just turned them upside down, put the crumbles on "top" and then put a dollop of the "icing". They may not have been as pretty as they would have been if I could have spread the "icing" on top- but it was good. Also, I'm not really a fan of cool whip, so I didn't put that on mine. If you want the cool whip, be sure to account for that in your calorie count.
