Delicious, easy-to-make, and beautiful Blueberry Greek yogurt Cake made in a springform baking pan.
I love using Greek yogurt in baking, as it gives a richer texture to the cake batter. This blueberry Greek yogurt cake is very moist, not overly sweet, with an amazing texture.
Use either a 9x3 springform pan (like I did) or a 9 inch round cake pan. The cake comes out just of the right height (not too short and not too tall), with the texture resembling clafoutis. Keep in mind it's not an overly tall cake - but that's how it's supposed to be! Very soft and moist from Greek yogurt and the blueberries.
Before baking the cake, I scattered the blueberries evenly on top and, when the cake was done, some of the berries stayed on top, some in the middle, and a lot of them have sunk to the bottom, but in a beautiful way, as you can see in this slice of cake:
This blueberry Greek yogurt cake is very easy to make and turns out well every time! You can use all types of berries. This cake is great for using leftover fruit.

Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour sifted
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 2 oz unsalted butter softened
- ⅔ cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup blueberries
US Customary - Metric
Instructions
Use 9x3 springform pan or 9 inch round cake pan.
Preheat oven to 375°F with rack in middle. Line the bottom of a 9x3-inch springform pan (or 9 inch round cake pan) with parchment paper. Grease the side of the pan with butter or cooking spray.
Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together into a medium bowl.
In a separate bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and egg and continue beating until very creamy and light in color.
Keeping the mixer speed low, mix in the flour in 2 batches, adding ½ cup Greek yogurt in between the 2 batches to the cake batter until combined. Do not overmix.
Transfer the cake batter to the springform pan. Scatter blueberries evenly on top.
Bake until cake turns golden, and the tester comes out clean, about 20 to 35 minutes, depending on your oven.
When the cake is done baking, let it cool (still in the baking pan) on a wire rack. After cake has cooled for about 40 minutes, release the cake from the springform pan. At this point, if the cake is cool enough, you can slide your hand under the cake, between the parchment paper and the bottom portion of the springform pan and move the cake with the parchment paper attached to its bottom onto a cake plate easily.
If using a 9 inch round cake pan, cook in pan for about 30-40 minutes, then invert onto a plate.

Jane McKayI just made the Blueberry Greek yogurt cake for the first time, and it looks fantastic! Unfortunately, it is my contribution to the dessert table at a friend’s Easter dinner, so I’ll have to wait to taste it! Thank you for the very easy recipe!

Can I make this gluten free
Reply
- Julia
Yes! You can use Bob's Red Mill Gluten-Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour or King Arthur gluten-free measure-for-measure flour. If using these flours, don't sift them but don't pack them into a measuring cup either.

Absolutely wonderful, everyone enjoyed this cake! Want to make it again but my daughter does not do sugar, can anything be used in place?
Reply
- Julia
Linda, so glad the cake was a hit! Try using monkfruit sweetener, but in smaller amount.
For example instead of 1 cup of regular white granulated sugar use about 1/2 cup or 2/3 cup of monkfruit.

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Terri, yes, frozen blueberries would work great. No need to thaw them, add them frozen!

3 adults, 2 little kids.. I FOOLISHLY made one 9 inch round pan of this, expecting we'd have some for today and tomorrow... It was gone in about a minute flat.

I'm looking forward to trying this and will probably add some lemon zest to the recipe. I am Celiac - do you think almond flour would work, or just plain GF flour? Thanks - LOVE your recipes and have cooked many of them!! 🙂

Caroline, yes, gluten-free flour (1-to-1 or measure-for-measure) would work great! If using gluten-free flour, there is no need to sift it. 1 cup of packed gluten-free flour should work great.

If you use almond flour is it 1 for 1? I am going to try this recipe tomorrow and just bought almond flour to try to substitute for regular flour at suggestion of some friends.
Reply

I haven't tested this with almond flour, but to be on the safe side, I wouldn't substitute 1 to 1. I would test this recipe with 1/2 cup regular flour (or gluten-free flour) and 1/2 cup almond flour.
