A Healthier and Tastier Version of Box Cake

It was my mom's birthday this past weekend, so I made her a cake. I always take the easy route and use a box mix. I can be quite the health nut, so I always try to find ways to make healthier versions. I did some research and found a great way to make a healthier version of boxed cake mix and also found that it's even fluffier and tastier than the original. 

Just a heads up, I doubled the recipe so I could make two layers!

You'll need:

- 2 and 1/3 cups of water
- 2 boxed mixes (I mixed yellow and white cake)
- 12 oz of plain greek yogurt (2 packages)
- 3 egg whites + 1 yolk
- 2 tins of frosting (I used vanilla)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees

Mix the cake mix, greek yogurt, egg whites, and water together using a fork, a handheld mixer, or an electric mixer. It's up to you! 

Take the batter and spoon it into the buttered pan. I used two cake pans so I could have two layers. You'll find that the batter has a thicker consistency. 

Put the pans into the over, preheated to 350 degrees, and bake. Follow the baking times on the box mix. I baked my cake for about 30-40 minutes. A good indication of it being ready is when a fork can be poked in and pulled out without any batter sticking. 

Take out the cake, let them cool. If you need to cool them quickly, out them in the refrigerator. Frost the cake and if it's for a birthday, add the candles! 

Since it was a white cake with vanilla frosting, I added some berries to give it an extra pop. 

It was for my mom's birthday, so we had her blow out all of her candles. I won't say how many we put ;)

I think she liked the cake! She agreed that it was way fluffier and super yummy!
