Fresh Strawberry yogurt Cake-Low Fat

We came down to Bon's parents house for the weekend to help out because her mother was under the weather as she just got out of the hospital. We are making homemade chicken noodle soup for dinner tonight and I just took a fresh strawberry yogurt cake out of the oven! It is most amazing! I am sure you have seen it pop up in the midst of you pinning addiction just as I did...I just substituted unsweetened applesauce for the butter and zero calorie sweetener for the granulated sugar, and only used a 1/2 cup of the powdered sugar for the top.

 Split this 12 ways and each piece = 139 calories, 30g carbs, 1g fat, 6g protein.

So not the most healthy, but a special treat for a loved one makes a great reason to cheat a little. ;)

Recipe: Fresh Strawberry Yogurt Cake

Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened- I used 1 C unsweetened applesauce
• 2 cups sugar- I used 2 C zero calorie sweetener
• 3 eggs
• 3 Tb. lemon juice, divided
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, divided
• ½ tsp. baking soda
• ½ tsp. salt
• 8 oz. plain or vanilla, Greek yogurt- I used non fat vanilla greek yogurt
• 12 oz. fresh strawberries, diced
• 1 cup powdered sugar- I only used 1/2 C

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 325*. Grease and flour a 10 inch Bundt pan. Sift together the 2 ¼ cups of flour, baking soda and salt. Mix in the lemon zest and set aside.
2. With an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 Tb. lemon juice. Alternate beating in the flour mixture and the yogurt, mixing just until incorporated.
3. Toss the strawberries with the remaining ¼ cup of flour. Gently mix them into the batter.
4. Pour the batter into the Bundt pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
5. Allow to cool at least 20 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely. Once cooled whisk together the remaining 2 Tb. of lemon juice and the powdered sugar. Drizzle over the top of the cake.
