This blueberry yogurt cake will blow your mind away; it is SO delicious. Using a whole cup of Greek yogurt makes this cake incredibly moist. It is also bursting with fresh blueberries, and when baked, oh boy, a divine smell fills my kitchen.
Blueberry Greek Yogurt Cake
I like this recipe so much because it is a super delicious blueberry cake, easy to make and doesn't need many ingredients.
Unlike my Blueberry White Chocolate Cake recipe, I use yogurt instead of sour cream, and I also add ¼ cup of lemon juice, which improves the cake's flavour.
As usual, I prefer using fresh blueberries over frozen ones in my baking goods; it is just a personal preference. It results in a better texture.
Blueberry Yogurt Lemon Cake Ingredients
Note: This is an overview of the ingredients. See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
- Flour: I use all purpose flour in making this cake.
- Baking powder: t is a leavening agent.
- Sugar: I use granulated sugar.
- Butter: Don't substitute the butter with vegetable oil or any other oil; I have tested this blueberry cake with vegetable oil, and the texture was not as good as using butter.
- Greek yogurt: It makes the cake so soft and fluffy.
- Lemon juice: It Improves the flavor.
- Eggs: I use 3 large eggs.
- blueberries: I prefer fresh blueberries.
- Powdered sugar: This is optional to decorate the cake; you may skip it.

Tips and variations
