Ingredients:
- 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup (150g) sugar
- 1 tbsp (12g) baking powder
- 1/2 tsp (3g) salt
- 3/4 cup (180ml) plain Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup (120ml) unsweetened applesauce
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (120ml) skim milk
- 8 oz (225g) low-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (120g) plain Greek yogurt, chilled
- 1/4 cup (60ml) maple syrup
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1g salt
- 1 cup (150g) fresh blueberries
- 1 1/2 cups (225g) fresh raspberries
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang on the sides.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, Greek yogurt, applesauce, vanilla extract, and skim milk until smooth.
- Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined; stir until smooth but do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the top springs back when touched and edges pull away from the sides.
- Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.
- Beat the softened low-fat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually fold in the chilled Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Whip the frosting on medium-high for 2 minutes until fluffy and holding soft peaks.
- Spread the frosting in an even layer across the cooled cake.
- Arrange blueberries in a rectangle in the upper left corner to create the union, and line the remaining area with alternating rows of raspberries and white frosting stripes.
