Ingredients
  

  • 1 box 18.25 oz. Pillsbury Moist Supreme Lemon Cake Mix (box contents only)*
  • 1 can 20 oz. crushed pineapple in 100% pineapple juice
  • 6 ounce approximately ¾ cup non-fat Greek yogurt - lemon flavor

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, lightly spray a 13x9 baking pan with non-stick spray, you can also take the extra step to line the bottom with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl combine all three ingredients making sure to mix throughly eliminating any pockets of dry cake mix. The bater will be thick.
  • When fully combined, pour the bater into the prepared baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 - 40 minutes until a tooth pick or cake probe can be inserted and removed cleanly.
  • Cool completely before serving. Cake will be moist and slightly sticky, clean the knife after each cut to prevent the cake from tearing.

Notes

This cake mix box has 18.25 oz of mix and makes 12 servings per the package instructions. If your box contains less mix and makes fewer servings it may work better to withhold a couple tablespoons of yogurt and pineapple so the cake isn't too sticky. This will also affect the nutritional information.
No lemon yogurt? No problem! Add ½ teaspoon of lemon extract to plain non-fat Greek yogurt. You could also try other flavors like coconut or pineapple.
