Prep:
10 minutes
Cook:
20 minutes
Cool: 35 minutes
Ingredients:
Frosting
1/2 cup light/reduced-fat cream cheese
1/4 cup light butter
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/3 cup powdered sugar
Cake
1 3/4 cups moist-style confetti cake mix (about half a box)
1/2 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt
Topping
1 tbsp. rainbow sprinkles
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with baking cups, or spray it with nonstick spray.
To make the frosting, combine cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract in a large bowl. With an electric mixer set to medium speed, beat until smooth, 1 - 2 minutes. Continue to beat while gradually adding powdered sugar. Beat until smooth, another 1 - 2 minutes. Cover and refrigerate.
In a second large bowl, combine cake mix, yogurt, and 3/4 cup water. Whisk until smooth and uniform. Evenly distribute batter among the cups of the muffin pan.
Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 16 - 18 minutes.
Let cool completely, about 10 minutes in the pan and 25 minutes out of the pan.
Top with frosting and sprinkles.
