    This blueberry yogurt cake is bursting with berries and is the perfect light, airy, healthy-ish, yet delicious blueberry dessert for summer.

    What is a blueberry yogurt cake?

    A blueberry yogurt cake is exactly what it sounds like, a cake that is made using yogurt as one of it’s main ingredients and flavored with juicy, fresh blueberries.  The Greek yogurt creates an incredible moist cake that feels light.  Also, since it’s Greek yogurt you also feel like you are having a healthy dessert.  Hey, blueberries and Greek yogurt.  Healthy…ish.

    Summer berry desserts

    It’s hard to believe that summer is just around the corner.

    Every June my family goes blueberry picking at one of the local berry farms.

    It is one of the highlights of my summer and I look forward to it every year.

    We go MANY times and do some serious blueberry picking so we have lots to freeze and enjoy all year long.

    Though chocolate is usually my go-to dessert of choice, there is just something so satisfying about a light and airy fruit dessert that heightens the anticipation of summer.

    Favorite blueberry recipes

    Here are just a few of my favorite blueberry recipes:

    • Christmas Morning Blueberry Streusel Muffins

    • Healthy Buttermilk Pancakes With Homemade Blueberry Syrup

    • Lemon Berry Muffins (OK, so this one technically has blackberries and raspberries, but you know…)

    • Blueberry Baked Oatmeal Cups

    I’m sure there will soon be many more to add to the list!

    Today, we had a friend over and did some social distance visiting out on the driveway.

    He had one request…DESSERT.

    So he got two:

    • Marshmallow Lava S’mores Cookies

      and

    • Blueberry Yogurt Cake

    One dessert that is dense and decadent, the other is light as air.  Perfect.

    How to make a blueberry yogurt cake

    This cake is so easy to make.

    Combine all of the ingredients for the batter and pour into a 10 inch spring form pan. I recommend wrapping some foil around the outside to prevent leaking. If you don’t have a large spring form pan then you can use a 13 x 9 pan.

    Now, top the batter with all those juicy blueberries.

    Bake until the top is a beautiful golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the middle, about 50 minutes.

    I mean, really, just look at those berries!

    A majority of the berries landed at the bottom half of the cake.

    I’m one of those weirdos that like it that way.

    If you would rather have them evenly distributed, then toss the blueberries in 1 tablespoon of flour prior to adding them to the top of the batter. The flour should give them some sticking power and prevent them from sinking to the bottom.

    Finish it off by dusting the top with a bit of confectioners sugar.
