This easy red velvet cake is a little denser and fudgier compared to regular cake, but is a little healthier thanks to some greek yogurt.
As a quick reminder for frozen yogurt lovers, tomorrow February 4, 2013, is National Frozen Yogurt Day. And Yogurtland is giving away free yogurt from 4-7pm! You can find out more on their website.
I hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine was busy busy busy. But full of great food. And lots of hand sweating during the last few minutes of that big game. Somewhere in my busy schedule, I managed to try out another cake mix variation recipe.
Last year I made healthier chocolate cake using cake mix and Greek-strained yogurt. So when I was playing around with red velvet cake mix, I thought I’d try making a healthier version using yogurt once again.
It’s a little more dense, a little fudgier compared to regular cake, but it’s still pretty good. And much less fattening then regular cake.
You can skip the frosting altogether to save even more calories and fat, or just add a very small dollop to keep things healthier.
