While searching for a healthy cake recipe, I came across a suggestion to combine cake mix + 1 cup of greek yogurt + 1 cup of water. Given my love for greek yogurt, I jumped on it! The result was, well, a bit rubbery. Not sure exactly where it all went wrong. I strayed from my usual Betty Crocker mix and bought the Dr Oetker. I think that may have been my first mistake. I made Maddie's Birthday cupcakes later with the same mix, but swapped the yogurt with a cup of applesauce. It was a little lighter, but not much.
Now I have 48 cupcakes that are a little chewy... I haven't yet decided if I'm going to remake some for the party next weekend. Thankfully I have a bit of time to think about it.
Do you have a go to cake recipe? If so, please share! Would love a more natural "clean" cake for Little Miss Maddie and her guests.
Finally, here are a few pics of this afternoon...

Your such an awesome mom, the kids must have LOVED THAT! and the pictures are priceless :)
I love the cake smashing idea!!
I have also had mixed results with yogurt baking - I think you already have the blueberry muffin recipe (just in case: http://www.ramblingnotebook.com/greek-yogurt-blueberry-muffins/), those were great but the brownies I tried (recipe straight from the yogurt package!) were AWFUL.
