Skinny Strawberry Cake Recipe
This Skinny Strawberry Cake is the ultimate guilt-free treat! It’s made from a cake mix and protein packed greek yogurt, and then topped with a light and fluffy whipped frosting full of fresh strawberries. Each serving clocks in at just under 200 calories!
Summer is finally just around the corner! This past winter seemed to just drag on and on, so warmer weather is most definitely welcome! Here in south Texas we didn’t even have it half as bad as so many other parts of the country, but I’ve definitely had my fill of sub 50 temps for a while.
Of course, I will probably be backtracking on that statement here soon when it’s too hot to even walk to the mailbox.????
With warmer weather and swimsuit season popping up, I decided to take one of my favorite summer desserts and lighten it up. If you’re a fan of Strawberry Cake, then you are going to LOVE this one! It’s moist and yummy, and the frosting is so fluffy and good. I will take this version ANYDAY!
And that’s saying something, because I LOVE full-fat, full-calorie, full-everything desserts.
This Skinny Strawberry Cake is a play on my super popular Skinny Chocolate Cake and Skinny Funfetti Cake recipes. If you haven’t tried those yet, then you really should! I have a feeling you are really going to like them. ????

This skinny strawberry cake is really die for, it turned out wonderfully.
Skinny strawberry cake was excellent as I am on a low saturated fat diet. Even my family loves it!!
Loved it and non – diet conscience family also loved it. Great for my nin- satiated fat diet !! Will make often.
What the heck is “strawberry cake mix”?? I just hate it when there is this half-ready type of stuff in a recipe – we don’t have it here (Hungary, Europe) and it just seems like a lazy option. Of course there are occasions when you don’t have enough time and it comes handy but I think the recipe should give option to make it ourselves, a description how to make strawberry cake sponge.
This cake looks really delicious but this way I can’t make it……….
I love this cake. It’s so easy to make and tastes great! I’ve made it a few times now.
Can it be made in a 9”x13” pan?
yes!
This sounds absolutely delicious. Can’t wait to make it.
