Recipes Using Blueberry Yogurt
For better or worse depending on how you look at it, I live about 2763 miles from that grocery store and it’s been nearly a decade since I’ve had a slice of their yogurt cake, but I still think of it fondly. When I saw blueberries in my freezer and blueberry Greek yogurt in the refrigerator, I knew homemade yogurt cake had to happen.
Like the other cakes I’ve been making recently, this is a one-bowl, mix-by-hand special that comes together in about 73 seconds flat with just a whisk. Beat two eggs, sugar, yogurt, oil, and vanilla. Add the flour and baking powder, fold in the blueberries, and bake. Fast and easy cakes are what I live for.
I prefer modest-sized ones, too, and this one is just a 9-by-9-inch cake but you may double the recipe and bake it in a 9-by-13-inch pan if you’re feeding a bigger brood than I am or have a longer attention span for larger sized cakes.

The cake turned out perfectly moist from both the yogurt and the oil. I was tempted to use melted butter in this cake for added flavor because I love the flavor of butter. However, oil makes cakes softer and moister than using butter and oil won. A moist cake trumps all.
To give the yogurt cake lift and enable it to rise properly and not be too dense and weighed down from the cup of Greek yogurt, I used baking powder as the leavener. I generally avoid using baking powder and instead try to use baking soda whenever possible. Baking powder is comprised of baking soda, cornstarch, and acid salts, such as sodium aluminum sulfate or cream of tartar. I am very sensitive to the bitter taste of the acid salts and can usually taste mere traces of baking powder when it’s present. Plus, baking powder can cause the crumb to turn dry and coarse if used in excess.
However, through the magical moistening properties of oil, yogurt, and the juices from the blueberries that are released while baking, the cake rose perfectly, while remaining moist and some of the density I desire in a yogurt cake was retained.

Sometimes the simplest things taste the best and I made a simple glaze with the juice of half of a fresh lemon, confectioners’ sugar, vanilla, and whisked them together. The glaze made my mouth pucker from the intense pop of lemon but it wasn’t too tart because the confectioners’ sugar balanced the lemon juice. Plus lemon and blueberries pair together splendidly and incorporating a teaspoon or two of lemon zest into the cake batter is a way to bolster the lemon flavor even more if you like to pucker up.
I wasn’t sure if Scott and Skylar were going to like the lemon glaze and lemon is a flavor, like peppermint, that once it’s added, it’s unmistakeable and can’t be undone. But I had forgotten that Scott really loves lemon in things and Skylar kept smacking her little lips, too.
The cake reminded me so much of the storebought yogurt cakes I used to purchase, but the major difference between my cake and those is that I used a drizzle approach for the glaze whereas bakeries pour cup-fulls of glaze over the cake, let it dry; and repeat. However, feel free to send your cake into a lemon-vanilla submersion bath rather than just a drizzle. I’d love to drink the bathwater.

Blueberries are such nice little surprises bursting with sweet juice and definitely worth having a blue thumb and index finger from for a few days after all that blueberry picking.

Spiced Apple and Banana Bundt Cake with Vanilla Carmela Glaze – Between the yogurt, apples, and banana in this fruit-oriented cake, it’s wonderfully moist and soft. It’s a fast cake to whisk together and bakes up tall and beautifully
Banana Bread Brownies with Vanilla Caramel Glaze – Made with bananas and yogurt, they’re incredibly moist and tender. Very rich and fudgy and chocolate is used three ways. More fudgy brownie than banana bread, but it’s a marriage for times you can’t decide between using the ripe bananas on your counter or your honoring your chocolate cravings
Microwave Blueberry Banana Oat Cakes (vegan, GF) – Ready in 3 minutes and although the recipe is older, I get so many reader emails about this being a go-to breakfast and portable snack, especially for anyone in a dorm room or who has limited kitchen access. All you need is a microwave for this little single-serving cake

Baking with yogurt or sour cream, and cream cheese is in it’s own league, keeps baked goods soft, tender, and moist. Nothing is worse than dried out desserts and I’d rather have none than have a piece of dry cake, which is why I always add at least a dollop, and usually much more, yogurt or sour cream to any muffins, cake, cupcakes, or bread I make.
Feel free to share your recipes for soft, moist, tender cakes, muffins, cupcakes and breads and what you do to get them that way.
Simple Blueberry Yogurt Cake
Welcome to ! Here you’ll find fast and easy recipes that taste amazing and are geared for real life. Nothing fussy or complicated, just awesome tasting dishes everyone loves!Often to turn something from good to great all it takes is minimal effort. This easy Blueberry Swirl Yogurt recipe is one of those things.
We all know plain yogurt is good; however, sometimes adding the simplest thing to it can transform it to extraordinarily good. I started with FAGE Total 5% plain Greek yogurt and instead of just tossing on a handful of blueberries or chopped fruit, I took an extra few minutes and threw blueberries into a pan. To that, I added a TBS of water and just a pinch of sugar. Minutes later I had beautiful, healthy and delicious blueberry compote for my creamy FAGE yogurt.
It was a super-satisfying lunch that was not only pretty, but it was also chock full of goodness and it fueled me up for my busy afternoon.

I don’t know about you, but I sometimes think too much about what I want for a meal, thinking I need meat or a big salad
Something so simple and healthy like this Blueberry Swirl Yogurt recipe ends up being more than satisfying. It fills me up without leaving me feeling over-full, I don’t feel tired in a food coma kind of way and I feel great about the nutrients in it.
One of my resolutions this year is to be more thoughtful in how I eat, in how I prepare foods for my family and to do my best limit food waste.

Dairy is a big part of what my family and I eat. I’m a huge fan of the nutritional benefits of wholesome milk, yogurt, and cheese, and I truly appreciate all the hard work, passion and dedication by dairy farmers and their families across America that allow us to enjoy all of the products we do.
When it comes to yogurt, it took a little bit of effort a few years ago to get my kids to transition from the “sweet kiddie yogurts” to more nutritious, all-natural Greek yogurt. I began combining both types of yogurt (which they didn’t even realize), adding more and more Greek yogurt until they became accustomed to the taste and texture of Greek yogurt.
Creating healthy and delicious toppings to go on along with rich and delicious yogurt I feel good about feeding my kids helped me accomplish that.

As a mom, I love that my kids, as well as myself, enjoy FAGE Total 5% plain Greek yogurt. It’s Non-GMO Project Verified, all natural and sugar additive free. The calcium and protein in every spoonful are great for all of us. We all enjoy the rich creamy taste as well as its versatility. It’s a staple in my daughters’ lunchbox. In addition to our favorite Blueberry Swirl Yogurt, I use FAGE Total 5% plain Greek yogurt for savory dips, as an ingredient in quick bread, marinades and more. Visit the FAGE website for some amazing recipes featuring their yogurt.
Some of my favorite ways to top FAGE Total 5% plain Greek yogurt is by adding a nice crunch to it with granola and honey, adding other fruits that I quickly turn into compotes; however, the blueberry swirl yogurt is my favorite. I also love ripe banana slices drizzled with honey atop it. My daughter sometimes crumbles homemade cookies into hers as a dessert. She says it tastes like cookies and cream ice cream.
Traditionally fruit compote is made by simmering fruit
