Ingredients

2 boxes: (2 x 400 g) Compliments Gluten-Free Yellow Cake Mix, including ingredients called for on box

1 cup: light mascarpone cheese; 250 mL

1 cup: fat-free vanilla yogourt; 250 mL

3 tbsp: honey, divided; 45 mL

3 tbsp: lemon zest, divided; 45 mL

1 tbsp: lemon juice; 15 mL

1/3 cup: strawberry jam; 75 mL

1 1/2 cups: sliced strawberries; 375 mL

Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour two 9-in. (23 cm) round pans. Using an electric mixer (stand or handheld), blend the two cake mixes, including ingredients called for on box, in a large mixing bowl on medium, about 2 min. Divide batter evenly among pans and bake on middle rack of oven for 28 min. or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 min., then remove to cooling rack to cool completely.

Step 2

Combine cheese, yogourt, 2 tbsp (30 mL) honey, 1 tbsp (15 mL) lemon zest and lemon juice. Mix until smooth and set aside.

Step 3

Level tops of cakes with a serrated knife. Place one cake in the centre of a platter and top with half of the cheese mixture, spreading evenly over cake. Spread jam evenly over cheese and top with second cake.

Step 4

Spread remaining cheese mixture evenly over top of cake. Arrange sliced strawberries in a concentric circle starting from the outer edge and working towards the centre of the cake to create a flower-like effect. Sprinkle with remaining lemon zest, loosely cover and refrigerate for 30 min. to set. Drizzle top with remaining honey to serve.
