1 cupcake (~85 g) has about 320 calories.
Why estimates miss: Red Velvet Cupcake is a multi-ingredient dish. Cream-cheese frosting adds most of the fat, so swirl height changes the total a lot. Generic calorie apps undercount the hidden oil, sauce and portion — CalDesk AI's photo estimate is tuned to catch exactly this.
