Preheat oven to 350° Spray 9x13 cake pan with nonstick spray.
To make cake, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
Mix vanilla yogurt, milk, egg, sugar, and oil. Pour wet ingredients over dry, then mix until combined. Fold in raspberries with spatula.
Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until center of cake has set. Cool cake on cooling rack, then cut into large cubes.
While cake is baking, prepare pudding. Combine egg yolks, sugar, and corn starch in a bowl.
Heat milk in medium-sized sauce pot until steaming.
Temper eggs by adding ¼ cup of milk at a time while constantly mixing. After half the milk is combined with eggs, return milk/egg mixture to pot. Slowly stir mixture until it begins to thicken. Pudding will be cooked when it can coat back of spoon.
