Description
A delightful Blueberry Yogurt Mousse Cake that combines the tangy flavor of fresh blueberries with creamy yogurt, resulting in a light and fluffy dessert that’s perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 cup plain yogurt (Greek preferred)
- 1 ½ cups cake flour
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 tsp baking powder
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
- If using fresh blueberries, rinse and pat them dry. If using frozen, let them thaw and drain.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, followed by the yogurt. Mix until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the cake flour and baking powder. Gradually add to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, reserving a handful for decoration.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- For the mousse, whisk the yogurt until smooth, fold in the remaining blueberries and lemon zest. Sweeten to taste with honey or sugar if desired.
- Once the cake is completely cool, slice it in half horizontally (if desired), spread a layer of blueberry mousse, then top with more mousse. Decorate with reserved blueberries and lemon zest.
- Chill in the refrigerator for an hour before serving.
Notes
For variations, you can substitute yogurt with a dairy-free alternative or use frozen blueberries if fresh ones are unavailable.
