Blueberry yogurt cake

My very first challenge recipe is this delicious blueberry yogurt cake. If all recipes are this tasty and good, it is definitely no punishment to have to make all of them!

Maybe you think that I really have nothing to do and that’s why I come up with these insane plans to keep myself busy… Because why else would you dream up the next challenge? Because I can? Just because it is fun? It’s not entirely original. Because we all know the Julie and Julia phenomena, but for me this is a first and that is all that matters. Plus it’s not a book…

The challenge

So… what did I come up with this time? I will be cooking ALL recipes from one edition of Donna Hay magazine. In this particular case that means  a total of 81 recipes (if I counted it correctly) and I chose edition nr 71 from October/November of 2013. Since that features a spring season in Australia I figured timing wise it would kind of match with our current upcoming season. Which seemed appropriate!

Permission

I also officially asked permission from the Donna Hay team as I am planning to mention all recipes here and I figured it was a good idea to check if that was ok to. And they agreed that it would be fine for me to place the recipes (with proper credits ofcourse) so I will try and make a photo of every single recipe I make from the magazine. If I succeed for the full 100% I cannot guarantuee as it is a lot of recipes. And ofcourse, as luck would have it, I picked an edition with a total of 8 chicken recipes. Whole chickens that is…

I will be the roasted chicken expert when this is over I am sure! And there is a whole section with bread puddings and other deliciousness… But also – thankfully – a lot of healthy recipes.. Which is why I picked this particular edition in the first place.

and so here is recipe number one! For my first recipe I chose this delicious blueberry yogurt cake. It’s simple and soo good so you will want to try this one for yourself!

My blueberries always sink to the bottom!

Fruit in cakes does have the tendency to sink to the bottom of the cake tin. It’s not always preventable but I have found it helps if I roll the blueberries through some icing sugar prior to adding them to the batter. The little layer of sugar helps to counteract the sinking. No guarantees though. It doesn’t always work.

Can I make this cake gluten free?

You can; I have made a similar cake but with gluten free ingredients. Not yet translated but here is the Dutch version. I will post the English version here soon.

What can I replace the Greek yogurt with?

You can replace the Greek yogurt with buttermilk or coconut yogurt. Coconut yogurt is less tangy so that will give a different flavor profile.
