This strawberry lemon layer cake showcases two layers of strawberry cake alternated with two layers of lemon cake.

LET'S GET STARTED!

Plus, whipped vanilla pudding frosting between and from top to bottom of each luscious layer. It’s hard to believe this is boxed cake mix!

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray two (or four if you have them) 9-inch round cake pans with cooking spray. Set aside.

2. In a large bowl, mix the lemon cake mix, 1 cup of Greek yogurt, and 1 cup of water, then divide the mixture between two cake pans and bake for 15-20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cakes cool for 5 minutes, then flip them onto a wire rack and cool completely.

3. Combine the strawberry cake mix, the rest of the Greek yogurt (1 cup), and a cup of water. Pour the batter evenly between two greased 9-inch round cake pans, and again, bake until the cakes pass the toothpick test. Cool for 5 minutes, then flip the cakes onto a wire rack to finish cooling.
