4 Ingredient Healthier Eggless Blueberry Yogurt Cake

This blueberry yogurt cake is easy to make with just four ingredients. One of them is fat-free blueberry frozen yogurt which takes the place of other ingredients traditionally used to make a cake. The cake is soft and sweet and just a little healthier.

I’m always looking for ways to make baking easier and lately I’ve been using ice cream to make simple cakes.

After successfully making a rich and velvety chocolate cake with just three ingredients (with ice cream being the secret ingredient), I was really curious whether I could make it work with frozen yogurt, which would be a healthier alternative.

I bought some fat-free Greek blueberry frozen yogurt, which I thought would give the blueberry cake a nice light purple color and make the recipe much healthier. I also added in some fresh blueberries because the frozen yogurt didn’t have any blueberry pieces mixed in.

Ingredients

  • Fat-free blueberry frozen Greek yogurt
  • Cake flour
  • Sugar
  • Baking powder
  • Fresh blueberries – these are optional.

Recipe Steps

This recipe makes two 6×2.5” mini loaf pans. Grease them and preheat the oven to 350°F.

Soften the frozen yogurt in the microwave for 30 seconds. In a large mixing bowl, combine it with the flour, sugar, and baking powder until smooth. Mix in the fresh blueberries if you are using them.

Divide the batter between the loaf pans and bake them for 30 to 35 minutes.

Recipe Notes

This cake didn’t have the velvety texture that the chocolate one did, but that’s because it’s a lot healthier.  You have yogurt as the base instead of cream, butter, and eggs.

While the texture wasn’t as tender, it still worked out pretty well considering the recipe is almost fat-free.  It tasted a little like a quick bread cake.

I used a fat-free frozen yogurt but added a little sugar because the batter wasn’t very sweet. You could eliminate the additional sugar if you want more of a quick bread that isn’t sweet or use an artificial sweetener but I don’t like using those.

While this isn’t necessarily a “healthy” dessert, it is much healthier than the original ice cream version.

  1. Can I use frozen blueberries? If yes, do they need to be thawed or just added with some flour tossed in them so that they don’t sink to the bottom?

  2. ps, does it have to be greek yogurt and not regular yogurt ?
    If it must, then is this ok ? Aldi’s

    • Yes, greek yogurt. And actually this recipe calls for a frozen yogurt using greek yogurt. I’m not sure how the recipe would work with just regular greek yogurt.

  3. I love Love LOVE these few ingrediant desserts. It makes me feel like a real baker.
