Today’s my birthday. Yes, another year older and hopefully wiser too! A fun little fact about me… today is my husband’s birthday as well – he’s just 2 hours older than me. You can read more about it from Last Year’s Birthday post. Happy Birthday, Jordan!
All growing up, my mom made us a Frozen Yogurt Chocolate Cake for our birthday. It is THE cake for birthdays! We all love it, especially my dad. So to set the mood of celebration, I’m sharing this recipe with you.
Frozen Chocolate Yogurt Cake Recipe:
- 1 pkg. chocolate cake mix
Mix and pour batter into 2 or 3 rounds and bake as directed on the box. Once the cakes have cooled, take each layer out of their pans and freeze until firm, (couple of hours). This helps with handling them when they get placed on top of each other. If your using 2 rounds, slice them into 4 layers. If you used 3 rounds, keep them as is. (You can make this cake simply as cupcakes or in a 9×13 pan as well.)
Yogurt Topping:
- 1 pint heavy whipping cream – whip until very stiff & sweeten with sugar
- 3 cartons of cherry yogurt – pre-stirred colorful & firm, Yoplait works really well. (Any flavor of yogurt will do, cherry just has a bright pink color.)
Fold cream and yogurt together. Frost each layer of cake generously using a spatula. Then freeze the whole cake for several hours or overnight until firm.
When you’re ready to serve this frozen cake, pull it from the freezer 15 to 20 minutes before to thaw. It’s fun to see the contrast in colors from the dark chocolate and pink yogurt. It makes a great Ice Cream Cake alternative.
Speaking of cakes, I’ve entered to win this fun Cake Making Kit. Hopefully I’ll win and can use it for next year’s birthday. Now have a piece of cake on me! Yay!

Happy Birthday to the both of you, how cool is that. Your cake was love at first sight, yum, thanks for sharing a family fav.
My husband and I share a birthday as well. The difference is that I’m two years older and he never lets me forget it. And we agree … it’s not all it’s cracked up to be!

Happy Birthday! What a fun cake, and not hard either! Thanks or sharing.
Happy Birthday! I love cherries and chocolate. I’m going to have to try this. Have you ever tried it with other flavors? I’m thinking lemon would be great!

Happy Birthday!! Thanks for the recipe…I will use it for a “gourmet club” some friends and I have since I’m up for dessert this month!
This looks so good. I love that there is yogurt in it too. I am going to try this. Thanks!
Happy Birthday to you!!! That seems like a holiday that would be fun to share with a hubby :)
Happy birthday to you and your husband! Do you rush to see who can say Happy Birthday first each year? I know we would if my husband and I shared a birthday!
Happy birthday to you two!! Hope you get to go out and celebrate tonight. That cake looks sooo yummy. I made the chocolate peanut butter bars last night…WOW! MMMMMMMM! Thanks for sharing your fabulous recipes!
happy birthday marie!!! This year 29 was hard for me, so i hope next year rocks! oh and Jordan – happy birthday (jk)
Happy Birthday Marie and Jordan! Wish I had a piece of that cake right now.
Happy Birthday! It seems like as we get older it birthdays aren’t quite as special as they were when we were little….unless we do it ourselves! Hooray for you :)
Happy Birthday! My husband and I share a birthday too. He’s about 10 hours older. My kids think all parents only have one birthday. But I agree I think it’s not as cute as it seems. We usually flip flop who gets to make breakfast in bed and who gets to make the other’s favorite dinner.
Hope you both have a great day
Okay, I could’ve eaten that cake out of my computer screen if I could’ve. Great cake, Great picture. Happy Birthday Maroo and Jordan!
This cake looks so good! Happy Birthday! Thank you for sharing such a nice family treat.

Aww what a lovely idea for a birthday cake! I can’t believe you have the same birthday as your husband too, how cute! Does he like this cake too? Happy birthday!
what a great idea! this looks absolutely delicious!
Oh, this cake is making me hungry! Thanks for sharing the recipe, I think my kids are going to LOVE this cake!
Happy Belated Birthday to you and Jordan!!! The 17th is my mom’s birthday too! I hope you had a great day! We need get together and celebrate…maybe a girls’ night of legwarmers, jelly bracelets and Pretty in Pink to reminisce on the good ol’ days (again)!
