Ingredients
Scale
Cake
- 1 box (15.25 ounces) Funfetti cake mix
- 1 cup fat free vanilla Greek yogurt
- 1 cup water
Frosting
- 1 box (3.4 ounces) sugar free instant vanilla pudding mix
- 1 cup 1% milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 container (8 ounces) lite whipped topping (thawed)
- Sprinkles, for topping
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray to prepare for the cake batter.
- Mix Cake Batter: In a large bowl, combine the Funfetti cake mix, fat free vanilla Greek yogurt, and water. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are well incorporated and the batter is smooth. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- Bake the Cake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out mostly clean. Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting.
- Prepare Frosting: In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar free instant vanilla pudding mix, 1% milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture thickens and no lumps remain. Gently fold in the thawed lite whipped topping until smooth and creamy.
- Frost and Decorate: Spread the prepared frosting evenly over the cooled cake. Finish by generously sprinkling colorful sprinkles on top. Serve and enjoy your guilt-free funfetti cake!
