Watermelon Cake


This cake is, well, ...it's watermelon. So, right off the bat it's a bit more nutritious for you than regular cake. It helps that it's super yummy too! Perfect for an end of summer bash before everyone goes back to school.


I should have taken more time icing the cake. I was a bit rushed though so I apologize for the uh lack of skill in decorating in the pictures. You have to lay on the yogurt icing really thick, otherwise it just slides off the watermelon. I was surprised though of how well it stayed once I got the hang of how much icing to slap on at once. 

Watermelon Cake

1 seedless watermelon

1 6oz container of Greek yogurt, Chobani or Fage. I prefer Fage for this

1 package of instant vanilla pudding mix

2 tsp vanilla

any kind of fruit you want to decorate with

Cut the top and bottom off of your watermelon. Now, it depends on your watermelon what shape your cake will be in. I wanted a circle but mine was destined to be rectangular. Save the pieces you are cutting off. You can use cookie cutters to cut out shapes and decorate the cake with. The yogurt must be Greek yogurt as plain yogurt will be too runny and will slide right off your cake. Mix the Greek yogurt, pudding mix, and vanilla till combined. Now, slap it onto the watermelon. Remember to put a lot on there or it wont stay on the cake. Now decorate however you like :)
