Since I was traveling to spend the weekend with my sister, I decided to use the leftover cake mix from these pancakes to bring with me on the road. See, my sister and I had planned to make a cake batter dip before Christmas, but cookie exchanges and desserts galore (which are still not gone yet) got in the way. I think every year I make a long list of things I plan to bake/cook for Christmas, and only make it about 75% through. Please tell me I’m not the only one? Maybe I should make that list shorter next Christmas.
3-2-1 Funfetti Cake Batter Dip
Happy 2011! I hope you had a great New Year’s. If, like several Americans, you’re beginning 2011 with healthier intentions, I’ll be happy to let you know the recipe I’m about to share with you calls for yogurt… and cake mix. But don’t forget about the yogurt. That lets you justify eating dip that tastes just like cake batter in early January.
Anyway, back to the dip… if you’re not trying to keep early 2011 a bit lighter, this recipe can be doubled, tripled (or quadrupled) quite easily. Just maintain that 3-2-1 ratio of cake mix, yogurt, and cool whip. Easy as pie dip!
Funfetti Cake Batter Dip
3 tbsp. Funfetti cake mix
2 tbsp. plain yogurt
1 tbsp. cool whip (or whipped cream)
Wisk cake mix and yogurt until smooth. Fold in cool whip. Refrigerate until serving. Serve with pretzels or animal crackers.

You've done it again…making me want sweets before I even eat breakfast!!! Mmmmmmm.
so inventive – so CUTE (I love animal crackers!) and so delicious… I will make this!
HAPPY NEW YEAR !!
Ooooo, this is a really inventive idea. I like it!
Oh goodness, this looks very, very addicting. My hubby LOVES Funfetti so I'm sure he would love this dip!
Wow….I may not ever make that for fear of it being way too addicting!
OMG want want want, so easy!
A cake batter dip to serve with animal crackers? Sign me up!!!
I just saw this on Pinterest and can't wait to try it for our 4th of July celebrations! Thanks!1
Oh. My. Word. I found this recipe via Pinterest and just made it. It is SO amazingly tasty! I will be making this for every single person I know and wll be serving it at the very next party I have! Thanks for the great recipe!
Isn’t it so good, Shannon?! And so easy!! I need to make more soon.
I just made this and am eating it right now. Amazing!
It’s so good and easy, right?!
Has anyone made it using a box of funfetti? How much yogurt and cool whip do you use? I think I am going to send to school with my 5 year old tomorrow for his special snack day.
Hi Jennifer – do you mean an entire box of Funfetti? I would measure out the Funfetti mix – maybe do 2 cups of Funfetti mix, 1 1/3 cups yogurt, and 2/3 cup cool whip…
Whole box=~3 cups. So 1 8oz Tub cool whip, and about 1cup and 1/4 yougurt(I used vanilla) any more yogurt its too tangy. I just made it with the whole box for a party, kids love it.
what do you think about using plain greek yogurt? do you think that would taste baD?
I actually made this dip with plain Greek yogurt! It was a bit more tart than what you’d get with regular yogurt or vanilla yogurt, but I liked it that way!
Yummy! That was so good! I am so using this at my sons birthday party!! Thanks for sharing:)
I’m glad you like the dip, Jessica!
Just made sum its very yummy! i made it X4 and i probly will eat whole bowl, with animal crackers of course, i was making it for me and my 3 year old and i turned around and she was asleep in the couch, well i will have to make again when she wakes up. lol
Haha, I hope you hurried up and ate it so that you “had” to make more to share
I love that it’s so easy to whip up!
I bet this would taste fantastic over your Funfetti pancakes! I LOVE cake batter! Yum!!
Oohhh, I like the way you think. Who needs syrup on pancakes? That would be phenomenal!
Mine was a little bitter so I added just a touch of powdered sugar and it was perfect!
Delicious! Everyone loved it at a recent party.
I used Nilla wafers instead.
Ohhh, I LOVE Nilla wafers!! Why did I never think of that?! Thanks for the idea!
Hello there, i was wondering if you could use strawberry yogurt with it instead of plain yogurt, do you think that would work?
Definitely! It’ll just have a slightly strawberry taste, I assume
This may be a silly question, but do you make the cake batter, or use the dry cake mix?
Dry cake mix!
Does anyone know the calorie count in a serving? (and what a serving is?)
Hi Sarah, I’m actually going to be making this dip soon and will be sure to get an accurate idea of serving size and calories, but in the recipe listed here, the entire recipe has about 200 calories.
