My inspiration for this Greek Yogurt Blueberry Cake was the pint of blueberries and half a tub of greek yogurt sitting next to each other on a shelf in the fridge. I wanted to bake something yummy for the kids to enjoy after school and late at night that wouldn’t be too bad for them and when I looked in the refrigerator for ingredients I saw these two happily sitting next to each other and thus this cake was born. I didn’t want this cake loaded with fat and tons of sugar. In fact, this cake has no oil or butter at all! And greek yogurt is loaded with good stuff like protein and probiotics. So, I don’t feel like a terrible mom letting them have their cake and eat it too!
The key to this cake is serving it upside down. You can bake it in two 8 inch round cake pans
The glaze on this cake is so easy. Melt down a little bit of marmalade with some orange juice and thicken it up on medium heat. This glaze is so good! I know what I am going to be using the next time we don’t have syrup for pancakes! This will definitely be a back pocket recipe for a quick glaze for any cake, muffin, scone, pancakes, waffles… You get the picture!
The next time you have see a half a tub of greek yogurt in your fridge that needs to be eaten, think about this luscious and moist cake! Whip it up and get in the oven. Send one of the cakes over to a friends house. Or pour yourself a giant cup of coffee and eat half of it yourself when you are on a “Mommy-Time-Out.” You will fall in love with this Greek Yogurt Blueberry Cake.
