Boston Cream Pie Protein Cake

This recipe is another one of my experiments with Lil Buff Protein Cake Mix – other than being a little difficult to remove from the pan after baking I have really enjoyed baking with this cake mix so far. I was really happy with how this cake turned out, it really is like a Boston Cream donut made into a healthy cake.

Again this recipe is not dairy free, due to the cake mix and the yogurt I used for the filling/frosting. However, it is gluten free, high in protein and extremely filling! I cut this cake into quarters to make 4 servings of 140 calories each(with 9.2g of protein)

You could experiment with making this cake with other flavors of Yoplait Light yogurt, there are lots of dessert flavors that I think would work well!

  • 1 Lil Buff Fitfetti Cake Mix(57g)
