Sunday Sweets: Strawberry Yogurt Cake

Just because I am craving this...


1 box white cake mix (chocolate cake mix is also yummy)
3/4 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 egg whites
1 container (6 oz) Fat Free strawberry yogurt
1 container Whipped vanilla frosting
1 quart (4 cups) strawberries

1. Heat oven to 350°F. Grease and lightly flour bottoms and sides of two 8-inch or 9-inch round pans.
2. In large bowl, beat cake mix, water, oil, egg whites and yogurt (batter will be lumpy). Pour into pans.
3. Bake 8-inch rounds 27 to 32 minutes, 9-inch rounds 25 to 30 minutes, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Run knife around sides of pans to loosen cakes; remove from pans to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
4. Spread 1/3 cup frosting over 1 cake layer to within 1/4 inch of edge. Cut about 10 strawberries into 1/4-inch slices; arrange on frosted layer. Top with second layer. Frost side and top of cake with remaining frosting. Cut remaining strawberries in half; arrange on top of cake.
