Embracin' the Camera and It Tastes Like Cake Batter


In case you missed it, Saturday we partied like it was 1999 while we celebrated Libby's seventh birthday.

And in addition to yummy in my tummy owl cupcakes, we also had this:


It's dip made from Funfetti cake mix.
And, in fact, when made it tastes exactly like cake batter.
So, if you're a cake batter fan, this dip is for you.

The best part?
It only has three ingredients.
Doesn't get any easier than that.

Here's what the recipe calls for:

3tbsp cake mix
2tbsp plain yogurt (feel free to use fat free if you so choose)
1 tbsp cool whip


So, this serving size is perfect....for one.
However, if you plan on sharing, which you probably will, then you'll need to make a wee bit more.
By this I mean that I dumped the whole box of cake mix into a bowl and added yogurt and cool whip until it tasted right.

We ate ours with animal crackers, but it would be scrumptious on fruit or graham cracker sticks.

If you're looking for an easy dip of the sweet variety, this one's for you.


And while you're here, here's a pic. of Lib and I at her party:



I'm embracing the camera and joining my all-time favorite blogger in her linky party where she asks you to embrace the camera and capture a moment of your life with your kiddos.
You should join too; all the cool kids are doin' it.

Happy Thursday-ing to you and you and you.

This is simple to make, delicious, and it looks pretty! You can make it with a variety of cake mixes depending on what you are in the mood for. I love the graham cracker idea, which is what I have been using.

What a nice sweet dip this is, but the yogurt blends it together nicely so it is not too sweet. You can do a lot with this "dip" I topped bagels with it and it was really good.

I really want to make this! How much yogurt/cool whip should you use if you are using the entire cake mix?

oh my goodness. this is such an amazing idea, and it's delicious. i have so many ideas running through my head as to how to use this as often as possible... it'd be killer frozen.

Saw this on Pinterest and followed it to your blog. I've reposted it on KeepRecipes.

For those asking about using the whole box of mix: Notice that the original recipe calls for a ratio of 3 parts cake mix to 2 parts yogurt to 1 part Cool Whip. Measure the whole box of cake mix and divide by 3 to find out how much 1 part is. Use that much Cool Whip plus twice that much yogurt plus the whole box of cake mix.

Super excited to make this for Bible study tonight...I'm posting in on my blog this week, I'll be sure to link back to yah for the credit. This is awesome!

I just measured our box of funfetti (Pilsbury) cake mix. There were 3.5 cups. So that would translate to 2 1/3 cups of yogurt and 1 1/6 cup of cool whip. I probably won't measure that precise... but it's on the menu for the New Year's Party tonight!
