Peach and Blueberry Greek Yogurt Cake made in a springform pan - you couldn't find an easier recipe for such a colorful, beautiful cake!
Greek yogurt works great in cakes and ensures a nice, smooth texture, as well as it is a good substitute for some portion of butter.
I love baking with Greek yogurt and avoiding using as much butter as I can get away with. In this recipe for a peach and blueberry Greek yogurt cake, you'll be using 2 oz of softened butter and ½ cup Greek yogurt to produce a full size 9 inch diameter cake. Not too much butter, yet the texture does not suffer. In fact, I prefer the texture that Greek yogurt creates in a cake than if I just use butter.
This is what the cake looks like unbaked, after I arranged the peaches and the blueberries on top, right before baking:
After being baked for about 1 hour (depends on your oven) and cooled, this Greek yogurt cake can be easily released from the springform pan:
And don't forget to sprinkle some powdered sugar on top:
Give yourself a large slice full of fruit and enjoy:
This peach and blueberry Greek yogurt cake is best served the same day you baked it or the next day. It gets too moist on the third day, so keep it refrigerated for best results!
Peach and Blueberry Greek Yogurt Cake
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 oz butter softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 2 peaches sliced into wedges
- 6 oz blueberries
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
Instructions
- Use 9x3-inch springform pan.
- Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in middle. Grease the side and the bottom of the pan with butter or cooking spray. Line the bottom of a 9x3-inch springform pan (or 9 inch round cake pan) with parchment paper. Grease the parchment paper too.
- Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, together into a medium bowl.
- In a separate bowl, beat butter, sugar, and 2 eggs until very light in color and fluffy, 2-3 minutes on high speed. Add vanilla and Greek yogurt and continue beating until very creamy and light in color, for about 1 more minute.
- Keeping the mixer speed low, mix in the flour mix until combined. Do not overmix.
- Transfer the cake batter to the springform pan. Top with sliced peaches, and scatter blueberries evenly on top in the spaces between the peach slices. Sprinkle the fruit with 1 teaspoon granulated sugar.
- Bake until cake turns golden, and the tester comes out clean in the center, about 1 hour, depending on your oven. Midway through baking, I like to put some extra peach slices and extra blueberries on top of the cake for prettiness, and return cake to baking.
- When the cake is done baking, let it cool (still in the baking pan) on a wire rack. After cake has cooled for about 40 minutes, release the cake from the springform pan. At this point, if the cake is cool enough, you can slide your hand under the cake, between the parchment paper and the bottom portion of the springform pan and move the cake with the parchment paper attached to its bottom onto a cake plate easily.
- If using a 9 inch round cake pan, cook in pan for about 40 minutes or more (up to 1 hour, depending on your oven), then invert onto a plate.

Can I use a regular cake pan instead of a springfoam pan?
Julia
Yes, you can use a regular baking cake pan of similar size, or use a 10-inch cast-iron skillet - I have the recipe here: Blueberry Peach Skillet Cake.
Nancy Scarpulla
What if you don’t have a springfoam pan can you use a regular cake pan?

Can you make ahead and refrigerate?
Julia
Yes, you can bake this cake, cover it, and keep it refrigerated - that's how I actually prefer to store it.
Megan
Could I use frozen peach slices instead of fresh?
Julia
Megan, I think you can. I don't think you need to defrost them - just use them as is.
Beth Huddy
Delicious and simple. Makes great use of seasonal fruit! One picture shows confectioners sugar on top. Would this be added or replace the 1 tsp of granulated, and added after cake cools?
Araceli
Hi! Would this recipe work using almond flour instead of regular flour? Thanks.
Julia
Yes, you can use almond flour instead of regular flour. I would add one more egg to bind the flour better.
bridget
did you try it with almond flour?
Julia
I didn't! But I did try it with King Arthur's gluten-free measure-for-measure flour without any changes. The cake turned out wonderful!
Penny
I made this today. I used an almond milk vanilla yogurt due to lactose allergy. I used almond extract as the yogurt had vanilla in it. Delish!!
Julia
Penny, thank you so much for such detailed and helpful feedback! I am glad this recipe worked well with almond milk vanilla yogurt!
Caroline
In the oven right now with blackberries and raspberries on top instead of peaches and blueberries. Looks and smells delicious, can’t wait to try it!
Julia
Love that you used blackberries and raspberries - sounds so good!

This looks really yummy would love to bake this one for my family. Is it possible to tell me the size of one cup in ml or grams?
Julia
I just updated this recipe and underneath the ingredients list, you can now switch between US Customary and Metric (which will give you values in grams).
JY
Love this! I just made this and it’s super easy for beginner like me. I used canned peach as it’s hard to get fresh peach here and it turns out great!
Julia
I am so glad you tried this recipe and loved it! And, thank you for the feedback regarding using canned peach!
Marie
Can I use frozen peaches? It’s fresh peaches I froze.
Julia
I think you can! I would add them frozen, do not defrost.

I've made this a few times now with both fresh and frozen peaches, depending on whether they're in season. It's soooo delicious, super quick and easy. And the presentation is amazing--it's gorgeous. I get so many compliments on it and requests for the recipe.

My favorite cake! I serve this with vanilla ice cream
Susan
Can you use almond flour and stevia instead of sugar and flour
JoAnnn Deisenroth
I used wheat flour, double baking powder, add one more egg. Worked great. Less carbs, caramelized fruit. Wonderful!
Julia
So glad you tried this recipe and enjoyed it! Thank you for the feedback and the 5-star review! 🙂
Lillian
Lovely taste but cooked way earlier. Not as moist as I would have thought
Julia
Glad you liked the taste!
Peggy
Any suggestions for increasing by a half and baking in a 9x13? Need to serve more than 10. Thank you!
Julia
I think you are right on by increasing the recipe by 1.5. Multiply all ingredients by 1.5 and watch the baking times - probably reduce them slightly because 9x13 pan is usually shallower than a springform baking pan.
