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. 😉

This sounds amazing! Not to mention I love Greek yogurt. Will be giving this a try!
I can’t wait to try this. I am a sucker for desserts with sprinkles.
What a great idea! This sounds delicious.
My dads birthday was last week and I made this for him. I made it into a layer cake though.
I love this cake. It’s so simple and easy to make. And looks delicious, moist, and fun! I bet my family would enjoy this. I will definitely save the recipe and give it a try.
Making cakes with cake mixes is so convenient! This one looks delicious.
I will be trying this for sure! I always enjoy cake. This looks delish.
Made this!! Simply amazing!!
Do you use the amount of eggs as instructed on the cake mix in addition to the yogurt? Or does the yogurt substitute the eggs?
Hi Maritza, there are no eggs in this recipe. Just disregard the box instructions!
I made the recipe as directed but I made cupcakes instead, they were a big hit. So good I felt guilty eating them. If you are going to make using cupcake wrappers I would spray the wrappers with non stick cooking spray. I didn’t not realize that because there was no oil they would stick to the wrapper . But now I know. I will definitely be making these again!
This looks delicious! I’ve never used yoghurt when baking so I’m eager to try it out.
This looks so good! I also love the fact that it’s not too many calories. I need some yummy ideas like this!
yumm this looks so good!!! cake is the best! thanks for sharing this.
My birthday is Thursday and I really want to try this! I was saying I wasn’t sure about buying a cake right now but I think this would be a fun and delicious choice!
Can you use almond milk or oat milk to make frosting
Yes you can! I’ve made all three of Ash’s skinny cakes and I’m diabetic so I use a sugar free cake mix too and use just half of cup of unsweetened almond milk for the pudding frosting, you always decrease the milk in a pudding recipe when you’re using almond milk. I also use zero sugar cool whip, no one would know this cake and frosting were zero sugar!
Does anyone know what the WW points would be ??
I did this with applesauce instead of oil and I am on purple. It was 7pojnts
