Equipment

Ingredients

Cake:

  • 15.25 ounce box cake mix , vanilla or yellow
  • 5.3 ounces lemon , vanilla or lime Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest

  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons butter , melted
  • 3 tablespoons lemon-lime soda
  • 1 tablespoon milk or water
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla or lemon extract
  • Maraschino cherries

Instructions

Cake:

  • Preheat oven to 325°F and coat a 12 cup bundt or tube pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large mixing bowl, mix together the dry cake mix with the yogurt, oil, eggs and citrus juices and zests, mix well, scraping down sides as you go.
  • Pour into prepared baking dish.
  • Bake for 40 minutes or until top (bottom) is lightly browned, springs back to the touch and passes the toothpick test.
  • Remove and allow to cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Gently tap the top of the baking pan and then invert onto a serving platter. Allow to cool fully before drizzling with icing.

Icing:

  • To make icing, whisk together the powdered sugar, melted butter, soda, milk (or water) and extract until no lumps remain, approximately 2-3 minutes. If the icing isn't a pourable consistency, add more powdered sugar or milk until it reaches a smooth white texture that will coat the back of a spoon.
  • Spoon evenly over cake all the way around and allow to set, repeat with remaining icing.
  • Top of maraschino cherries and serve.
