This post is part of the Prairie Farms sponsorship program. I received compensation as a thank you for my participation. This post reflects my personal opinion about the products.
The Super Bowl spread wouldn’t be complete without a sweet ending. But after the savory (and heavier) wings, chips and dips, it might be nice to serve something light and citrusy? Our Yogurt Lemon Pistachio cake is just that. Lemon lightens up any dessert, and the use of Prairie Farms low-fat vanilla yogurt creates a fluffy, less dense cake, with fewer calories from fat.
