How To Make bonnie's diet cake

Step 1

Cook's Tip: You don't like chocolate? Then try spice cake mix with this frosting recipe flavored with orange extract. Yummy!

Step 2

You will need one box of Pillsbury moist chocolate cake mix. (Don't add anything else to this mix!)
Step 3

You will need one 14 ounce can of Libby's pumpkin.
Step 4

MAKE THE TWO-INGREDIENT CAKE: Combine the moist cake mix and the can of pumpkin in a medium mixing bowl, adding a couple tablespoons of water. (DON'T ADD ANYTHING ELSE LIKE EGGS OR OIL!)
Step 5

PREHEAT THE OVEN: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper. (about 10 X 14 size)
Step 6

The batter will be stiff. Spread it in the pan and bake in the pre-heated oven for 25 minutes until a toothpick test is clean. Remove from the oven and cool on a rack.
Step 7

This cake has great texture!
Step 8

PREPARE THE DIET FROSTING: Combine the cream cheese, Greek yogurt, extract and splenda in a small mixing bowl. Mix well with a spoon. It will be stiff.
Step 9

Frost the cake when it is cool, or cut into small serving pieces and make a zig zag design as I did in my photo. How? You can put the frosting in a small zip lock bag and cut off the end and squeeze the bag to force the frosting through it to make a simple design. I store the cut pieces in a square container in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
