With just cake mix, Greek yogurt, and water, you’ll have a moist and flavorful cake that feels indulgent yet fits within a healthier lifestyle.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 slices

Ingredients

Cake:

  • 15.25 ounces lemon cake mix (1 box)
  • 5.3 ounces lemon Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup water

Vanilla Glaze (optional):

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the inside of a bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking and set it aside.
  2. Mix Cake Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the lemon cake mix, lemon Greek yogurt, and water. Whisk together until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
  3. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  4. Cool & Unmold: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool to room temperature on a wire rack. Once cooled, carefully turn the cake out onto a serving plate and cut into 12 slices.
  5. Make the Glaze (Optional): In a clean mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until the glaze is smooth and pourable.
  6. Glaze & Serve: Drizzle the vanilla glaze over the cooled cake and serve. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Each slice is 1 Weight Watchers point (without glaze), based on 12 slices.
  • Nutritional information is provided for the cake only and does not include glaze.
  • For best results, allow the cake to cool completely before unmolding and glazing to avoid breaking.
  • You can substitute plain Greek yogurt for lemon flavored, but lemon gives a more pronounced citrus taste.
