**July 2017 Update!** This recipe was originally posted in August 2014. I decided that the photos desperately needed updating, so I reshot the recipe (but still kept the ingredient list and directions the same). I also kept the original post/story below that I wrote three summers ago!**

It’s no secret that I like fruit. Peaches, strawberries, raspberries...they’ve all made their way onto Pumpkin ‘N Spice for some delicious summer recipes. I love baking with fresh fruit anytime of the year, but during the summer, it’s a must for me.

Since I visit my local farmer’s market just about every weekend, I have no excuse as to why I can’t bake with some ripe and delicious produce. 

But one fruit that I haven’t baked with this season is blueberries. Well, that’s about to change, friends!

After debating on whether I wanted to make muffins, bread, or cupcakes, I finally decided on cake. Blueberry Yogurt Cake! The name just about says it all. Fresh blueberries and creamy blueberry yogurt give this cake a deliciously moist texture, full of blueberry flavor. It’s pure blueberry bliss!

This Blueberry Yogurt Cake bakes up thick, soft, and super moist. It’s seriously the best cake I have ever made, or tasted, with fresh fruit in it.

The juicy blueberries give this cake a bright pop of color and burst into your mouth with tons of flavor. Adding in blueberry Greek yogurt, instead of plain yogurt, gives the cake even more blueberry goodness. This cake stays moist for days and slices well, too.

The verdict? Blueberry-amazingness! Seriously, this cake is so good. The hubster and I nearly inhaled it within two days, it was just that delicious!

I’ve had several requests to make this Blueberry Yogurt Cake again, so of course, I eagerly accepted. After all, what’s not to like about it?

So if you love blueberries and are looking for a new recipe to try, check out this moist and delicious Blueberry Yogurt Cake? I promise you’ll be baking this cake over and over again!

    I too Gayle am a total fruit addict! I need therapy asap. But blueberries are my favorite fruit in baked good, they're just the right size and shape in all their perfect roundness, right? Good thing we picked roughly 20 pounds of blueberries the other day (ok, we're freezing some) but I still can't believe how many we're eating fresh. I love the Greek blueberry yogurt addition, gives it a little added protein too, right? Love all the blueberries just oozing out of this. And the yellow plate you used.

      I love baking with blueberries, too! Besides being delicious, they're also easy to bake with, no chopping or dicing required! Sounds like you're all set with blueberries for a while, Laura! I'm sure you will put those to good use. And yes, the yogurt definitely gives this cake some protein, and makes it moist, too!

    Yogurt in cake is the best! I can see how amazing the texture is. What are we gonna do when all the fresh fruit goes away? Sigh. Recipes like this are so great while the fruit lasts!

      Thanks, Mir! I was so impressed with the texture of this cake, way too addicting for me! And I'm already dreading when the farmer's markets are done for the summer. But let's be in denial for now and pretend it's only June! :)

      I love sneaking in yogurt whenever I bake, makes it a bit healthier and a lot more moist. And I tried to cram this cake full of blueberries since summer is slowly winding down!

    I love baking with Greek yogurt because it makes baked goods so moist. This cake looks super moist, and I love all those blueberries bursting out the seams! Great idea using blueberry flavored yogurt, too, for double the blueberry goodness. :)

      I love extra blueberry flavor, so the yogurt added that and moisture. It's probably the moistest and most delicious blueberry cake that I've eaten. And a great way to use up those farmer's market blueberries!

      Thanks for the kind words, Kathi! I feel that it's almost necessary to double the blueberries in the summer!

      I like your thinking, Lindsey! You can definitely have more than one slice since it's lightened up with yogurt!

    Saved that one! I keep saying I need to go to the Farmer's Market, but I always forget and then it's too late on Sunday evening. There's always next weekend. You can bet I will be picking up blueberries and greek yogurt ASAP!

    It's no secret that this looks moist and delicious Gayle. I've been wanting to bake something with blueberries outside of the traditional muffins and this is exactly what I've been looking for. I can just cut a slice and have one with morning coffee. Lovely.
