Blueberry Yogurt Cake
This is your new favorite afternoon snacking cake — a luscious blueberry yogurt cake that’s loaded with blueberries.
Blueberry Yogurt Bundt Cake Recipe
I like to think that home is a place of comfort and ease, safety and cheer, made even better by the addition of afternoon cups of tea and a little something to offer those those who drop in to keep us company.
My youngest and I put together this cake the other afternoon partly to use up the fresh blueberries I’d gotten on a super sale at the store, but also because my parents were coming by for a cup of tea and I wanted to have a snack to share. I love this recipe because it’s not too sweet, contains just a bit of coconut oil plus a decent amount of yogurt so it’s rich tasting without being heavy. Instead of folding cinnamon into the batter I did a sort of internal streusel-swirl with cinnamon and brown sugar and baked the batter as a bundt cake. Loaded with juicy blueberries, this cake was a hit!
Have a slice of blueberry yogurt cake for a mid-morning snack or in a pinch, breakfast, and of course always in the afternoon with a piping hot cup of tea. The flours used are a mix of all purpose and whole wheat pastry flour, so you’ll get a little extra nutritional impact from the whole grains. And if you substitute your favorite non-dairy yogurt, you can make this recipe dairy-free.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
Blueberries. Lots of juicy blueberries infuse this cake.
Mix of flours. Whole wheat pastry flour balances all purpose flour nicely in this recipe, adding nutritional impact and contributing to a sturdy crumb.
Not too sweet. There’s just 1/2 cup of sugar in the batter, which means the cake is not overly sweet (though, feel free to add more if you wish!).
