- In a large bowl, whisk together ¼ cup melted butter and 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar until fluffy. Add 3 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract , ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce, ½ cup plain Greek yogurt, juice of 1 lemon and whisk until smooth. Add 1½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ¼ teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt and zest of 2 lemons and stir until combined.

Cup of Yum
To make the trifle
- Cut the cake into cubes. Place half of the cake cubes in the bottom of a trifle dish or glass bowl.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding and 2 cups milk until smooth. Pour half over the cake in the dish. Top with half of the 3 cups fresh berries.
- Repeat layers one more time, using remaining cake, pudding and berries.
- In a small bowl add the 1½ cups whipped cream and ½ cup sugar . Using a hand mixer beat for about 2-3 minutes or until stiff peaks form. Spread on the top of the trifle. Refrigerate until chilled and set for 1-2 hours.
