🍋 Ingredients (Makes 12 slices)
For the Cake:
1 box (15.25 oz) lemon cake mix (low-carb preferred for WW-friendliness)

5.3 oz container lemon Greek yogurt (nonfat works great!)

1 cup water

Optional Vanilla Lemon Glaze:
1 cup powdered sugar

2 tbsp milk

2 tbsp lemon juice

1/4 tsp vanilla extract

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Prep Your Pan
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a bundt pan (or a 9×13 dish if you don’t have one) and set aside.
  2. Mix the Batter
    In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, Greek yogurt, and water. Stir until smooth and well mixed—no electric mixer needed!
  3. Bake
    Pour the batter into your prepared pan. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  4. Cool
    Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack and let cool completely.
  5. Optional Glaze
    While the cake is cooling, whisk together glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over the completely cooled cake for an extra lemony touch.
