Dairy and Berry Patch Fresh Flavor

I’m sure you can agree, a homemade cake is a really special thing! As I was making this Blueberry Yogurt Cake I was thinking about how perfectly these flavors go together: yogurt for a perfectly moist cake with awesome texture, butter for richness, blueberries for fresh sweetness, lemon and cream glaze for an extra spark of sweet and sour… perfection!

This recipe calls for several dairy items: yogurt, butter, and cream. I am a dairy lover because of the delicious taste and as a simple, nutrient-rich ingredient in recipes. Dairy farmers are devoted to caring for their cows and land because that means a fresher, better product for you. Dairy farmers are also devoted to the communities they call home and the people who bring their locally-sourced products to your table. Dairy provides a sustainable nutrition for our families.

Responsibly Produced

Since you’ll be using several dairy products to make Blueberry Yogurt Cake, here are some fun dairy facts!

• Innovation has lead to safe technologies that the dairy industry uses to provide exceptional animal care to deliver sustainable nutrition and a better, fresher product.
• The dairy community truly cares about preserving our important natural resources like the land, air, and water. Creating a sustainable future is an ongoing priority!
• In an ongoing effort to make dairy farms more efficient, one gallon of milk today is produced with 90 percent less land, 65 percent less water, and a 63 percent smaller carbon footprint than in 1944. How awesome is that?!
• Water is a very precious resource and dairy farms do not let it go to waste. Dairy farms they recycle water an average of 3-5 times.

Dairy is Local

Another reason to love dairy and proudly use it in your Blueberry Yogurt Cake and other recipes is that dairy is locally driven. The dairy industry works hard to ensure that products are fresh, real, and locally-sourced. Dairy is a huge part of the farm-to-table movement. Here are some inspiring facts about how dairy is making an impact locally:

• 97% of dairy farms are family-owned and operated.
• The milk you drink is most likely from a farm near your neighborhood, contributing to the farm-to-table movement.
• Not only is milk produced in every state, but most milk travels an average of only 300 miles from farm to store.
• Dairy farmers show commitment to their communities by providing jobs and nutrient-rich foods, in addition to donating to local schools and civic groups.

Do you know a dairy farmer? Thank them for their work!

Dairy is Nutrient Rich

Dairy products are packed with protein and important vitamins and minerals. Dairy foods are nutrient-rich powerhouses that help fuel the body and contribute to a well-balanced diet. These fresh, wholesome products aren’t hard to find—they’re right down the dairy aisle! Here are some helpful facts about dairy nutrition:

• Dairy foods are nutrient-rich, budget-friendly, and come in many varieties that please even the pickiest of eaters.
• Real cow’s milk contains more naturally-occurring nutrients, and fewer ingredients, than most other dairy alternatives.
• Milk only has three ingredients: milk, vitamin D, and vitamin A. Some non-dairy alternatives have up to 10 added ingredients.

Dairy is Yummy!

Dairy is a big part of most of our favorite foods such as milk on our morning cereal, the cheese on our favorite pizza, the scoop of ice cream on a hot day, the cheese on your burger, and of course the yogurt in your Blueberry Yogurt Cake! Adding yogurt to a cake recipe means added moisture and a boost of nutrients.

Making a Blueberry Yogurt Cake

You’ll find that this Blueberry Yogurt Cake is not difficult to make. First, you’ll toss the blueberries in a tablespoon of flour. Set the blueberries aside and move on to mixing the remaining dry ingredients together.

Next, you’ll cream together the butter, sugar, and vanilla extract. Once this is complete you can add the egg whites and mix until blended. Now you’re ready to mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir in the yogurt.

Finally, very gently stir in the blueberries. Be careful as you mix because you don’t want to crush the berries!

Your batter will be thick, so you will scoop rather than pour the batter into a prepared bundt pan. Then you’re ready to bake!

After the cake is baked and cooled, you’ll mix up the lemon glaze and drizzle it over the cake.

So pretty!

This is optional, but I love how wonderful the cake looks when the center is filled with a pint of blueberries and a few slices of lemon.

Gorgeous, right?!

This cake can be served as a dessert or a breakfast coffee cake. I think it would be awesome at a summer picnic but also for an easy breakfast treat.
