Ingredient List
Cake:
- 1 package (16.25 oz) white cake mix with pudding in the mix
- 1 cup from 1 tub Mountain High™ Original Vanilla Whole Milk Yoghurt
- Oil and egg whites called for on cake mix box
Frosting and Decorations:
- 1/2 cup Mountain High™ Yoghurt Cheese*
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 container (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed
- About 13 large strawberries
- 20 blueberries
Preparation
- Prepare cake mix according to package directions in a 9x13-inch pan, substituting the yoghurt for the water. Bake 22 to 28 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Run knife around sides of pan to loosen cake; remove from pan to wire rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
- With a spoon, gently combine yoghurt cheese and powdered sugar in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Fold in whipped topping. Spread the topping evenly across top and sides cake.
- Slice the tops off the strawberries and then cut strawberries in half. Arrange four rows of strawberries for the stripes and use blueberries for the field of stars. Store in refrigerator.
Tips
- *To make Mountain High™ Yoghurt Cheese, line medium colander with flat-bottomed paper coffee filters; place colander in bowl. Spoon 1 tub Mountain High™ original, lowfat or fat free plain yoghurt into lined colander. Cover strainer and bowl; refrigerate at least 12 hours. Discard whey (liquid) in bowl. Unmold cheese with strainer onto plate. Remove strainer; peel away coffee filter. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Makes about 1 1/4 cups.
- Feel free to use Mountain High™ Vanilla Low Fat Yoghurt or Mountain High™ Vanilla Fat Free Yoghurt instead of Mountain High™ Original Vanilla Whole Milk Yoghurt, if you'd like.
