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 4 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
- 4 oz butter softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- ½ teaspoon vanilla
- ½ cup Greek yogurt low-fat
- 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.

I had peach yogurt and used that instead of plain and I used almond extract instead of vanilla. It was delicious, served at breakfast instead of muffins with a dollop of peach yogurt over it. Everyone loved it.
Thank you, Kelly, for your review, I'm so glad it was a hit! Love that you used peach yogurt - that's perfect for this cake!
I made this cake the day before serving should I refrigerate overnight then get to room temperature or warm in oven before serving?
If you made the cake the day before and will serve it the next day, I wouldn't refrigerate it. Instead, you can just keep it at room temp loosely covered with aluminum foil, allowing airflow through the cake to keep the edges crispy.
You live in Colorado - so this cake recipe will work in Colorado? What elevation are you at?
Hi Caitlin, I do live in Colorado (at about 9,000 feet, no less!). But I do spend months at sea level cooking and baking during the off-season (during the mud season here). I've made this kind of cake at altitude and sea level. Because it is such a simple cake, the only difference I've noticed is that it can take significantly longer to bake it at my altitude (9,000 feet). This cake should be done after about 50 minutes of baking at sea level. At 9,000 feet, it would take 1 hour or sometimes 1 hour and 10 minutes. It also depends on your oven and how hot it gets. It also depends if you use a convection bake setting - the cake will bake much faster at a convection bake setting both at sea level and at altitude.
Sorry for my verbose response - I probably provided more information than you needed. 🙂
This is great thanks! I'm in Denver so I'll just be sure to check the cooking time!
Good luck, I am sure the cake will be a success!
Are peaches peeled?
Hi Penz! No, I did not peel the peaches! The skin helps keep the peach slices together, too.
I would like to know if I could freeze this peach blueberry yogurt cake?
Hi Leticia, yes, you can freeze this. Make sure the cake is completely cooled off before freezing it in an airtight container or an airtight plastic wrap.
Can this cake be frozen?
I made this last night with some peaches we picked last week. It is terrific! I followed the recipe exactly and it didn't disappoint!.
Freshly picked peaches are the best! Glad this recipe turned out well for you, Michael!
I have alot of trouble baking at a higher altitude. How do I adjust this recipe to baking at 8000 ft.
(I bet you need to adjust your recipes to sea level.)
Hi Alison, I baked a similar cake at about 9000 feet and you can see my notes about it in this recipe:

It's a similar cake with similar baking times to this one, so I basically wrote this:
High-altitude baking notes
I've also baked this cake at around 9,000 feet elevation without any recipe adjustments. However, it took me significantly longer to bake it—about 1 hour to 1 hour and 10 minutes—in a regular oven at 350°F on the middle rack. By comparison, it took me 45 minutes at sea level to bake the same kind of cake at 350°F using the convection oven setting on the middle rack.
Has anyone substituted with coconut sugar? Wondering if it would change the texture.
I also added strawberries. Yum. I used 2 smaller cake pans, w parchment cut into the bottom. I baked for 40 mins (1 could have used 45), rested for 20 mins. This was so easy, it came out so pretty. I will definitely make this again. B
Thank you, Barbara, for your wonderful review! I love the addition of strawberries! 🙂 🙂
Tasted just ok. Was quite dry! I won’t be using this recipe again or sharing it. Thank god I decided to dash some cinnamon, lemon zest and apricot pieces through the batter because the dryness would’ve made me choke
Dana, did you overbake it? Watch your baking times closely as that will surely dry out ANY cake.
Will canned peaches work in this recipe? This looks so good I don’t want to wait until summer to make this
Anna, you can use canned peaches - just drain them really well from juices. Enjoy!
This was so fluffy and delicious!!! I used fat free greek yogurt and it was still amazing! Thanks for a wonderful lightened up recipe!
Melissa, I am so glad this cake turned out well using fat-free Greek yogurt! 🙂
Can I double this and make it in a large rectangle pan? If so how long would I cook for?
Can this cake be frozen?
Geraldine, yes, this cake freezes well!
Delicious! I didn’t have a springform pan at our cottage so I used a 10” cast iron skillet. It just finished cooling and it’s perfect! I used up some fresh wild blueberries and wonderful peaches I was worried would go to waste. Baked for 45 mins @ 350 (convection).
Everything looks like it should, but I have to wait until tomorrow to dig in… that's going to be a challenge 🙂 I think it turned out perfectly!!
I added some toasted slivered almonds before I put the sugar on.
Do you remove peach skin before baking? I imagine not or you would have said so. Please advise. Thanks
Hi Alan, no, I did not peel the peaches.
