Need an easy dessert to bring to a Holiday party?
This cake is easy and delicious. Simply combine a yellow box cake mix with nutmeg, Chobani, water and egg whites and you'll have a deliciously light cake ready in no time. Top the cake with some whipped topping spiked with rum or rum extract and dessert is ready!
I used Truwhip as a healthier alternative to Cool Whip, which contains no HFCS, hydrogenated oils, transfats or GMOs. I heard Trader Joe's also carries a similar whipped topping if you are lucky enough to have one near you. Happy Holidays!!

LOOKS YUMMY!!! Thanks Gina! A perfect light choice for our holiday. It's so hard to not fall apart during the holidays, but this recipe will definitely help!
ReplyDeleteI take the easy way out: cake mix + 1 cup water + 1 cup Greek yogurt = delicious cake. :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks awesome! I'm thinking of replacing half of the water with light egg nog just to give that extra hint o' nog since it's the Mr's favorite.
ReplyDeleteGo for it!!
DeleteI was thinking the same thing! How did t work out?
DeleteSo fabulous. What a treat!
ReplyDeleteno eggnog in the cake?
ReplyDeletejust wondered why its called eggnog cake... ( not a fan of eggnog )
Looks great..
Nutmeg in the cake, and rum spiked in the whipped cream. It's yummy!!!
Deleteoh ok so those FLAVORS are something found in eggnog then...Makes sense... thanks'Diane
DeleteIs it plain yogurt, or could we use vanilla? I have some fat free vanilla yogurt in the fridge I'd like to use up
ReplyDeleteEither would work
DeleteWould the sugar free yellow cake mix work for this? My dad's a diabetic but this looks like something fun to bring.
ReplyDeleteI don't see why not!
DeleteJust made this, we had all the ingredients on hand, it was fabulous!! Thank you
ReplyDeleteSuper easy! Just the recipe I need to complete my holiday menu! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteMmmm...I'm looking for some good holiday desserts! I tend to bake a lot of cookies but want to mix it up this year!
ReplyDeleteLooks great! What is chobani?
ReplyDeleteGreek yogurt
DeleteThose photos of the whipped cream are divine! I never knew someone could make whipped cream look so good :)
ReplyDeletePinned!!
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
DeleteLooks delicious!!! Happy Holidays to you and your family!!
ReplyDeleteCould you make cupcakes out of this?
ReplyDeleteJust fill a cupcake tin with cupcake liners, cooking time will be less but same recipe.
DeleteWhat if I can't find truwhip?
ReplyDeleteUse whatever whipped topping you prefer instead.
DeleteJust bought everything I need to try this! I'm not a fan of eggnog, but my family is & this looks yummy!!!! Hope I like it!!!
ReplyDeleteCould you make these as cupcakes without the topping? Maybe just serve the whipped topping on the side? I'm wondering how it might affect the points to take away the topping and make this as cupcakes instead. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSure, I think it comes out to 3 points plus each as a cupcake with no topping.
DeleteThanks for the recipe its going to help me along my journey, Please check it out and encourage me while I lose weight on youtube.

I made this and it's delicious. For the whipped topping I added in some Evan Williams egg nog (egg nog with whiskey in it) and it gave it a nice kick. Everyone loved it. This may be a new cake for Christmas.
ReplyDeleteMade this as cupcakes for Christmas Eve dessert and they were amazing!
ReplyDeleteSo happy you all liked it!
ReplyDeleteFirst, I am a huge fan of eggnog. I love Bordens, but it is not WW friendly.
ReplyDeleteI made this tonight. I used 1/2c Silk Nog and 1/2c water, and stirred 1Tbs Silk Nog into the Cool Whip as kids were eating it so did not want the rum. Flavor was really good.
The cake came out a little tough. In 28 minutes it had completely pulled away from all 4 side of the pan by a lot, so I would guess over cooked? Also I find cake make with just whites tend to be tougher. Would make again, but cook less time. Any other suggestions?
This was SO GOOD! I made 2 to bring to numerous events on Christmas Day and they were a big hit. So yummy and super easy!
ReplyDeleteI had 4 different parties to go to this holiday season and I made it for each party. It was always such a big hit and I kept getting asked for the recipe. I referred them back to your site. I used rum extract instead of rum for the whipped topping. I also couldn't find Truwhip so I used fat free cool whip and it was excellent. I just simply glazed the cake so I didn't use the entire container. The cake was so moist and light. I did need to cook the cake for 40 minutes in my oven but oven times vary so no big deal there. Thank you for another delicious recipe!
ReplyDeleteLoved this recipe so much I decided to experiment with another flavor. I just tried a Chocolate Amaretto cake using your recipe but adding 1 tsp. of almond extract to the batter and eliminating the nutmeg. For the topping I added 1 Tbsp. of Amaretto to the whipped topping. Yum!!!
