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.

Made this today and it came out looking beautiful and tasted delicious, too! Will definitely make it again. Thanks for the great recipe!
I made the cake, and it was just okay. The problem is, your directions were a bit hard to follow. Step #6 and #8 are a bit contradictory. I cooked my cake for 1 hr (direction #6) but it was waaaaay overcooked. Then I retraced my steps, and when I got to step #8 and it made sense why my cake was so dry, I should have cooked it for 40 and added time as needed. Will make again, but definitely adjust the cooking time.
Hi! Can I leave out the baking soda or maybe replace it for something?
Can you use a cake mix?
I am making this today and I will be following the recipe as written, if I need to know something I should change or adjust let me know. Thanks
t looks great!!! can you give the measurements in grams and cm as well!
Has anyone made this with canned peaches? I have not had a lot of experience in cooking with peaches. If I do use fresh peaches, is there a skin that needs to be removed first?
I use canned peaches all the time. The taste will be similar. I enjoy them. Though I think fresh peaches that have been home canned would be best. They are in season now through the summer!
Removing the skin is up to you. I do this a lot especially in desserts I serve to other people because it is always expected to have the skin removed. If it is for me personally, sometimes I leave the skin on apples and peaches because it is more convenient.
I used fresh peaches and left the skin on. It gets really soft and tender when it's baked for so long, so I really doubt it would bother anyone. My husband is very picky and didn't complain about the peach skins at all 😉
Hi! Should the yogurt be plain Greek or vanilla? I assumed plain since the recipe also calls for vanilla, but I wanted to check! 🙂 Thanks!
This looks delicious -- can't wait to make it, BUT, ONE COMPLAINT: Why doesn't the photo print along with the recipe? It would be SO helpful when looking for a specific recipe when I don't remember the exact name of it.
Hi Julia! Is there a way I can substitute the butter for something else? I was thinking coconut oil or something similar? Not sure if the texture would turn out the same..
