3-Ingredient Weight Watchers Lemon Cake
Description
The 3-Ingredient Weight Watchers Lemon Cake simplifies the baking process by mixing lemon cake mix with lemon Greek yogurt and water, creating a smooth batter poured into a greased bundt pan. Baking at 350°F for about 30 minutes yields a tender crumb with a vibrant lemon flavor enhanced but not overshadowed by the natural yogurt tang.
The lemon Greek yogurt contributes moisture and subtle tartness, contrasting with the sweetness of the cake mix. The resulting cake is light yet flavorful, with a pleasant citrus aroma.
A vanilla glaze combining powdered sugar, milk, lemon juice, and vanilla extract is whisked together and drizzled over the cooled cake. This glaze adds a sweet, slightly tangy finishing layer that enhances the lemon flavor without excess richness, maintaining the cake's light profile suitable for Weight Watchers points consideration.
The recipe yields 12 slices with 1 point per serving without glaze. Nutritional info pertains only to the cake portion, excluding the glaze, so portion control can assist in maintaining calorie goals.
