- Whole Eggs: You will need three whole eggs for this recipe as per the instructions on the back of the cake mix.
- Fat Free Plain Greek Yogurt: This is what is called for on the back of the cake mi box, I use Fage Plain Non-Fat Yogurt, but you are welcome to use any brand of your choosing. If you want to make this dairy free you can use almond milk and a bit of avocado oil!
- Rainbow Sprinkles: What problem can’t be solved with some rainbow sprinkles. Funfetti is just more FUN… right? The addition of rainbow sprinkles in this mix is what gives it the rainbow look!
- Vanilla Extract (optional): I added a splash into the cake mix for some more flavor, if you do not have this or you do not want to add it you do not have to!
Easy enough right? Buying some frosting and cake mix and the rest is easy peasy!
