I tried a chocolate cake mix (sugar free) with a can of pumpkin and made them into cookies and I was sorely disappointed, Yuk! I was looking on pintrest and saw the following recipe, which you can just use without the orange, just cake mix and yogurt btw, but I am very reluctant to try after this last batch. Has anyone tried the yogurt/cake recipe? Please give your honest feedback. I have tried the black bean and brownie mix and enjoyed that, but the cake and pumpkin? H to the N! From Printrest:

Creamsicle Cake

1 box (15.25 oz) White Cake Mix

1 container (6 oz) non-fat Greek yogurt, plain

1 cup orange juice

freshly grated orange zest, optional

powdered sugar, optional

In a large mixing bowl, combine cake mix, Greek yogurt and orange juice. Include the zest of one orange, if desired. Pour batter into a greased 8 x8 inch square pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-33 minutes. Slice into 9 pieces. Garnish with a dusting of powdered sugar and orange peel, if desired.

    That actually sounds really good and should bake up correctly.

    For a 2 ingredient Chocolate fix, I would have made a Nutella Cake. 8.5 ounces Nutella + 4 eggs. Bake in a 350F for 25 mins.

    I'm sorry, but I wouldn't call this a "two ingredient" cake. Cake mixes have a lot of rubbish in them...and many many ingredients

    Devils food cake mix and greek yogurt is awesome! I would not eat it if it was nasty, lol ! Cup of yogurt, cup of water, cake mix. The batter is pretty stiff but it bakes up nicely. Poke with a fork, tines come out clean when cake is done. It is more cake like than using the pumpkin and yogurt does not interfere with the chocolate taste.

    Thanks for all the tips and Thank you!! I don't know if it was because the cake mix was sugar free, or it was the pumpkin, but aside from it being too pumpkiny, it had a slimy texture to it.

    Yes dear, I realize that. That is the metaphor given for the collective recipes that are popular now. My question was if you had tried them. If you have a better recipe, please do share.

    Creamsicle Cake

    1 box (15.25 oz) White Cake Mix

    1 container (6 oz) non-fat Greek yogurt, plain

    1 cup orange juice

    freshly grated orange zest, optional

    powdered sugar, optional


    I have not tried the above recipe, but I did make this - which is similar:

    1/2 box Betty Crocker Supermoist Cherry Chip Cake Mix
    6 oz container Yoplait very cherry light yogurt
    2 egg whites
    1/2 cup water

    Mix all ingredients together. Line 12 cupcake tins with liners and divide batter between cups. Bake at 350* for about 20 minutes. Let cool.

    Glaze:
    46 grams powdered sugar
    1/2 tbsp. maraschino cherry juice (or you could use grenadine, or cherry syrup, such as Torani or DaVinci brand)
    1/2 tbsp. milk
    1/2 tsp almond extract

    Mix all ingredients for glaze in a bowl and drizzle evenly on top of cooled cupcakes. I put my cupcakes in the fridge after glazing for about 10 minutes to let the glaze harden up a bit.

    They turned out so so soooooooo yummy.

    I tried the can of pumpkin with spice cake mix with a bit of almond milk to thin it out and it turned out really well in cupcake form. I added some Cinnamon cream cheese frosting and it was delicious!

    How is that 2 ingredient cake when you've listed 4 ingredients?

    Also, that sounds horrible.
