Hey y’all, I hope you’re ready for a seriously yummy recipe today! And it’s SKINNY! Yes, skinny!!
The mission to make this Skinny Funfetti Cake started a couple of weeks ago when I joined in this crazy thing called a “Diet Bet.” Have you heard of it before? It’s an app that you use to track weight-loss over 4 weeks time. You participate in it with a group of people and everyone forks over 25 dollars as part of the “bet.” If you successfully lose 4% of your body weight by the time the four weeks is over, you get your 25 dollars back. PLUS, if there is anyone in your group that DOES NOT lose the weight, their money gets split up between the winners!
Well, I really want to get my money back. And hey, other people’s money sounds good to me, too!
So I’ve been eating a lot better and keeping track of what I’m eating, too. The one thing I’ve really struggled giving up though is my sweets! So I decided to find a way to make some skinny versions of my favorite desserts. And what’s more fun that Funfetti Cake?! Did I mention it’s made with Greek yogurt?!
Yep, there’s Greek yogurt in there, and let me tell ya. This cake is SO moist and fluffy! I’m going to make more of my cakes using Greek yogurt from now on. Plus the yogurt adds in protein, too. So it’s ALMOST good for you, right? Almost. 😉

I would love to make this for the weekend! This cake looks super cute!
Sprinkles make everything better! 🙂 Love that used yogurt in the cake mix!
Can you use one of the sugar free cake mixes on this recipe?
Sure! I haven’t tried that myself though, so I’m not positive on how it would taste. Let me know if you try it!
I just made this cake for my birthday today & although the entire thing is DELICIOUS,I had a difficult time ” folding ” the pudding mixture into the whipped toppin to make it smooth. I finally used a plastic whisk, but it never did incorporate the mixtures well. There are chunks of the pudding mixture throughout the frosting ????.
Still, the cake is terrific!
Sometimes if the pudding sets up too much it can be harder to fold. I’m glad you enjoyed it though!
I made it today and it was delicious. My husband who loves his fatty cakes enjoyed it and couldn’t believe it was a skinny recipe!
Whoo hoo! Glad y’all enjoyed it, Doreen!
My cake mix calls for eggs. Do I still include them in the recipe?
Nope no need for eggs! Don’t worry about the recipe/instructions on the box; just follow mine. 🙂
Would this work as cupcakes too?
Hi Susan! I’ve never made it into cupcakes but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work! Let me know if you try it!
Hi, does this work with other cake flavored such as yellow cake?
Hi Stephanie! You could definitely use a different flavor of cake. Yellow should work great!
Oh my gosh – this looks amazing! I would never think it was skinny….I WANT some!
OMG! Did you say less than 200 calories? Give me that cake! YUMMY!
You had me at “skinny” and “funfetti!” This cake looks so amazing! I don’t think I’d ever know it was a lighter version! Trying this one for sure! 🙂
Anything to help the calorie intake! I have a sweet tooth!
I have not heard of Diet Bet, but I think I’ll need that come swimsuit weather! Love the use of Greek yogurt! Such a great idea!
