Raspberry Peach Greek Yogurt Cake is a soft, moist, and fruity dessert that I love baking when I want something sweet yet slightly tangy and refreshing. The Greek yogurt gives it a rich texture while keeping it light, and the juicy bursts of raspberries and peaches make every bite feel like summer. It’s perfect for brunch, tea time, or a simple dessert that doesn’t need any fuss.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I like this cake because it’s not overly sweet, and the yogurt makes it incredibly tender and satisfying without feeling heavy. It’s a great way to use fresh or frozen fruit, and I can make it any time of year. The combination of raspberry and peach is one of my favorites—they balance each other so well. Plus, the recipe is easy to throw together with simple ingredients I usually have on hand.

Directions

Servings and timing
This cake makes about 8–10 slices. It takes around 15 minutes to prepare and 40–50 minutes to bake. In just about an hour, I have a beautiful fruit-filled cake ready to serve.
Variations
Sometimes I swap the raspberries with blueberries or blackberries, or I use nectarines instead of peaches. If I want extra richness, I replace half the oil with softened cream cheese or use flavored Greek yogurt like honey or vanilla. A lemon glaze made with powdered sugar and lemon juice is also a great finishing touch for a citrusy twist.
Storage/reheating
I store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days, or in the fridge for up to 4–5 days. It stays moist thanks to the yogurt. I don’t usually reheat it, but if I want to warm a slice, I pop it in the microwave for a few seconds. This cake also freezes well—just wrap individual slices tightly and freeze for up to 2 months.
FAQs
Can I use frozen fruit in this cake?
Yes, I often use frozen raspberries and peaches. I don’t thaw them before adding—they bake perfectly straight from the freezer without making the batter too wet.
Can I make this cake gluten-free?
I swap the flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking blend, and it works well. The Greek yogurt helps keep the texture soft and tender.
What type of Greek yogurt is best?
I usually use plain full-fat Greek yogurt for richness, but low-fat works too. Flavored yogurt can be used if I want a slightly sweeter or fruitier cake.
Can I make this in a loaf pan?
Yes, I often bake this cake in a loaf pan—just adjust the baking time as it may take a little longer. I check for doneness with a toothpick around the 50-minute mark.
Is this cake good for breakfast or brunch?
Absolutely. It’s not overly sweet, and the fruit and yogurt make it feel wholesome enough for a morning treat.
