Preheat the oven to 160°C. Grease and line a round 20cm pan with baking paper, allowing the edges to overhang.

In a medium mixing bowl, add yoghurt, milk, and egg whites. Whisk until well combined.

Add remaining ingredients and again mix well until fully combined.

4

Pour the cake mix into the baking pan and cook for 35 minutes or until the cake bounces back when pressed gently.

5

Remove from pan and allow to cool completely on a cooling rack then place on platter.
In the meantime, prepare the frosting (see below).

In a medium mixing bowl, add all the ingredients and blend until smooth using a handheld blender or food processor.
Place in fridge to firm up slightly whilst waiting for the cake to cool.

Store the cake in the fridge - lasts up to 1 week (just not in my house!)
