Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I love how simple this cake is to make—no layers, no complicated steps, just one bowl and a handful of wholesome ingredients. The Greek yogurt gives the cake a soft, tender crumb and a slight tang that balances the sweetness of the fruit. It’s a great way to use up fresh or even frozen berries, and it looks beautiful with the berries peeking through the golden top. I also like that it’s not overly sweet, so I can enjoy it any time of day.

Servings and timing
This cake makes about 8 servings and takes around 15 minutes to prep, plus 40–45 minutes to bake. It’s ready to enjoy in about an hour, making it perfect for last-minute guests or a weekend treat.
Variations
Sometimes I use raspberries or blackberries instead of blueberries, or a mix of whatever berries I have on hand. For extra flavor, I zest a lemon into the batter or add a bit of almond extract. If I want a more indulgent version, I serve it with whipped cream or a drizzle of lemon glaze. I’ve also made it in a loaf pan for a more casual, snack-style cake.
Storage/Reheating
I store the cake covered at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the fridge for up to 4 days. It stays moist thanks to the yogurt. To reheat, I warm individual slices in the microwave for 10–15 seconds. It also freezes well—I just wrap it tightly and freeze for up to a month, then thaw at room temperature before serving.
FAQs
Can I use frozen berries?
Yes, I’ve used frozen strawberries and blueberries—no need to thaw them first. I just toss them in a little flour before folding into the batter to prevent sinking.
Can I use flavored Greek yogurt?
Plain works best for controlling the sweetness, but I’ve used vanilla yogurt in a pinch—it adds a nice flavor boost.
What type of pan should I use?
I usually use a 9-inch round cake pan or an 8×8 square pan. Both work great and give the cake a nice thickness.
How do I keep the berries from sinking?
I lightly toss the berries in flour before folding them in. It helps suspend them throughout the cake as it bakes.
Is this cake overly sweet?
Not at all. It’s lightly sweet with a tangy balance from the yogurt and berries, which makes it perfect for breakfast or dessert.

This Easy Strawberry Blueberry Greek Yogurt Cake is one of those effortless recipes I keep coming back to. It’s soft, fruity, and beautifully simple—perfect for any season and any occasion. I love how versatile it is and how quickly I can whip it up when I want something light, fresh, and delicious.
