GF Blackberry Greek Yogurt Cake {for Izzy!}

May 4, 2016 by Medha 49 Comments

Today’s post celebrates Izzy of She Likes Food!

GF Blackberry Greek Yogurt Cake | Whisk and Shout

This cake is just one of a series of delicious recipes put together in a sort of virtual potluck for the occasion of Izzy’s blog baby shower.


Izzy’s blog is so inspiring. Her food always looks delicious and inviting, and I am constantly pinning her recipes to make later! There’s no doubt in my mind that when she welcomes her little boy into the world, he will be very well fed.

When I was thinking about what to bake for Izzy, I thought about her content. A vegetarian like me, Izzy not only excels at creating meatless meals, but she shares fabulous gluten-free treats as well! I very rarely bake gluten-free desserts, so it was an exciting and fun challenge to develop this recipe.

This cake is naturally sweetened with coconut sugar and made with Greek yogurt! It’s studded with tons of fresh blue blackberries, which were intended to be an homage to little bundle of joy, but ended up a pretty purple after being baked (oops!).

I’m sending all my best wishes to Izzy and I hope she enjoys all the recipes that have been compiled for her virtual baby shower! Much love 🙂

    Awww, thank you so much, Medha!! And this cake is so my kind of cake! The only issue is that I would probably eat the entire loaf by myself, haha! I love all the fresh blackberries and the greek yogurt! I’ve been eating so many of both of those lately! Thank you so much! 🙂

    I love that you used blackberries for this cake! I usually use blueberries for stuff like this, but I love the idea of switching it up with a different fruit. Yum!
