This gluten-free blueberry yogurt cake is a healthier option because it is made with rice flour, which is gluten-free and easy to digest. It also contains almond powder, which adds healthy fats and protein to the cake. Using yogurt instead of butter or cream makes the cake lighter and smoother, while adding moisture and zing. Finally, blueberries are an excellent source of antioxidants and add a natural sweetness to the cake without the need for added sugars. Overall, this cake is delicious and healthy!
