“Snack”urday: Strawberry Yogurt Cake & a Giveaway

by Amanda @ A Few Short Cuts on March 12, 2011

I have had a crazy strawberry craving going on lately. I love all fruit though. Maybe it is because I see them all over the store, or because I know that darn festival is happening and I am missing Florida. I don’t know! What I do know is that I love strawberry shortcake, and when I saw this recipe that was the first thing I thought of…Strawberry Shortcake in a layered cake! YUM!

I have been working with Betty Crocker for about a year now, and I love them! Not just for their regular products, but because of their work in the Gluten Free Community! I now have 2 kids that require a Gluten Free diet. I can take most of their original recipes and tweak them with a Betty Crocker Gluten Free product and they come out tasting just as delicious!

Here is the wonderful recipe for this Super easy Strawberry Yogurt Cake. Just click the just box and watch the printable list feature in the bottom right corner to print.

Strawberry Yogurt Cake

Prep Time: 20 Minutes
Start to Finish: 2 Hours 2 Minutes

1 box Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® white cake mix
3/4 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 egg whites
1 container (6 oz) Yoplait® Original 99% Fat Free strawberry yogurt
1 container Betty Crocker® Whipped vanilla frosting
1 quart (4 cups) strawberries

Directions

Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Generously grease and lightly flour bottoms and sides of two 8?inch or 9?inch round pans, or spray with baking spray with flour.
In large bowl, beat cake mix, water, oil, egg whites and yogurt with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds; beat on medium speed 2 minutes (batter will be lumpy). Pour into pans.
Bake 8?inch rounds 27 to 32 minutes, 9?inch rounds 25 to 30 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Run knife around sides of pans to loosen cakes; remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
Spread 1/3 cup frosting over 1 cake layer to within 1/4 inch of edge. Cut about 10 strawberries into 1/4?inch slices; arrange on frosted layer. Top with second layer. Frost side and top of cake with remaining frosting. Cut remaining strawberries in half; arrange on top of cake. Store loosely covered in refrigerator.
