Raspberry Yogurt Cake Recipe
An almond-flavored raspberry breakfast cake made in a springform pan with raspberries and yogurt; perfect for a weekend brunch or holiday!
Friends, just in time for springtime holidays (Mother’s Day, Memorial Day, Father’s Day or Fourth of July), this amazing Raspberry Yogurt Cake is a hit at every breakfast or brunch!
Raspberry Yogurt Cake
I think if I could have a love affair with any fruit, it would be the raspberry, which is why you need to try this breakfast cake! And for this cake, you can use frozen or fresh raspberries!
Ever since I was little, it’s always been my favorite berry, partly because I had to pick so many gallons of blackberries in the summertime growing up, I ate far too many and it ruined my love for the big blackberries. Watch the video, and go make this delicious Raspberry Yogurt Cake! :)
Can you put yogurt in cake?
Yes, you can add yogurt to any cake or even store-bought cake mixes. It will do wonders for the flavor, making it tangy and sweet and so moist.
We love to add Greek yogurt in breakfast cakes! You may have already tried my Strawberry Breakfast Yogurt Cake or Cinnamon Fig Yogurt Cake. Add it to a Bacon Egg Breakfast Board Muffins for a great weekend brunch!
Ingredients for Raspberry Breakfast Cake
- Butter and eggs
- Sugar
- Plain Greek yogurt
- Almond extract
- Flour
- Salt
- Baking powder & baking soda
- Raspberries
The Pinehurst Inn at Jenny Creek
The Pinehurst Inn, outside of Ashland, Oregon, is one of our favorite places to visit.
We’ve stayed here many times, for birthdays, anniversaries, special times when we’ve just wanted to be together to fish Jenny Creek. We’d find babysitters, or family, and splurge on one night in the Inn. It’s an enchanting place, if you’ve never been to this bed and breakfast, and the food is always delightful.
Fly fishing on Jenny Creek
This time the banks were a little overgrown, but at dusk we made our way as far along Jenny Creek as we could go. My husband is a stud fly-fisherman. He’s what I want to be when I grow up, at least with my casting. This summer, I’ve promised myself I’m going to perfect my fishing here on the Fall River!
It’s beautiful places like this that make my heart sing, when I’m out in nature.
The profoundness of the day.
Our lives are passing quickly, so why not get out into nature more and explore God’s greatness?
Live in the now!
I’m always in awe when I see a weed so beautiful and intricately made. (And also, the lines on our faces … didn’t we just get married?) :)
With so much happening in the world today, on this day I found myself wanting to live in the moment.
Not jump ahead with thoughts of tomorrow, or waste my energy with regrets or failures of the past—but live in the now.
Raspberry Yogurt Cake
Again, for this breakfast cake, you can use fresh or frozen berries. How easy is that?
Make and enjoy, or bake and freeze!
Delicious for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day or the Fourth of July holiday weekend, enjoy for breakfast or dessert with Old-Fashioned Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream.
PS. Don’t forget your neighbors!

Could I substitute 10% regular yogurt rather than Greek yogurt?
Yes you can!
I just made this recipe and it is delicious. I didn’t have enough plain yogurt so I mix with a cherry yogurt. Everything else was exact. My family loves it! Thanks
I’m a beginner Baker and I made it today. So easy and delicious!
Can you use ricotta cheese in place of yogurt?
Can you sub coconut flour for white flour; if yes in what proportions?
Many thanks
I haven’t tried those substitutions, Myrna. Sorry!
Oh yummy – I think this will be my birthday cake for next week! thank you…looks fabulous. I have frozen berries from our garden last year….will be a nice way to use them up before the next crop comes in. Love your recipes…thank you.
Happy early birthday Donna! :)
Can you use reg round cake pans lined with parchment paper?
If use blueberries,strawberries do you still toss with sugar?…canned fruit toppings useable?
I’m sure you can use the regular round cake pans (but I have not tried it for acurate baking time). Yes, toss fruit with sugar. I have not tried the canned fruit, but my guess is YES, it would be fantastic. Make sure it’s drained well though. :)
Made with frozen mixed berries, and it was delicious. I did not defrost just baked a little longer.
This looks amazing! I love raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, however my husband can’t do the seeds ? Can this recipe be adjusted to use with blueberries (the brain food), The hubby devourers blueberries like nobody I know!
Yes, it’s delicious with blueberries as well!
Is it better served warm or cold?
Either!
My husband is diabetic can I use a sweetener instead of the sugar?
Jeanne, I have not tried any kind of sweetener in this recipe. Let me know if it works!
Yum! I would like to try this soon with peaches.
This looks and sounds delicious. I’m going to make this tomorrow with my favorite, blueberries☺
Making this and freezing it for a 2 week trip to the BVIs. Can’t wait to try it!
ENJOY!
Trying this right now, Sandy… i have frozen raspberries, do I thaw out first or not… and do I still put the sugar on frozen ones??
Enjoy seeing your new place come alive with your special touch (and your hubby’s)!!
Thanks so much for always sharing openly, esp about the Lord in your life!!!
Blessings,
Chris
Hi, Chris! Great to hear from you. Frozen works, and yes, sprinkle with the sugar first!
Hi. Thanks for the recipe. Can I use a bundt pan instead of a springform?
Yes, you can use a bundt pan, although I have not tried it. Come back and let me know how it worked!
Does it work with other fruit? Was thinking apples or pears??? Thanks
Yes!
Could I use frozen raspberries? And Greek yogurt?
Yes Liza!
Are there any adjustments if you use Greek yogurt instead of regular yogurt? Thank you so much for sharing, I will be making this soon, but will probably use a mixture of several types of berries. There seems to be an abundance of berries in my area this year. Plus I’ll be freezing quite a few for use this winter.
Just making now with granddaughter, but it seems a little soggy in middle done on outside is that right or should I continue cooking?
Every oven is different! Maybe 5 more minutes?
Thanks! I will try this recipe as soon as I get my paper from Essay writers hub org.
Amazing! Looks divine.
I so love raspberry cakes. That pop of sweet and tart that you get in every bite.
Thank you for this recipe, Sandy! I made it this weekend to take to a friend’s party and it was a big hit!
Awesome Wendy! It’s one of my favorite cakes!
Oh, I have a batch of raspberries that this cake would be perfect for!
Our raspberries just started ripening. I want to make this cake! And I love the photo of the fishing flies. :)
What a wonderful, easy to make cake. How fun to use berries from your own yard.
Yum!! I would say I love raspberries and strawberries
