Best Yogurt Cake at Yu Cake

Fro-yo girl here. Back in 2018, I reviewed the blueberry yogurt cake from Paris Baguette. Their blueberry yogurt cake featured three layers of vanilla sponge cake and three layers of blueberry yogurt cream. The cake was frosted and topped with fresh berries. I liked the lightness but I could not taste the yogurt. This was true for Tous Les Jours’ yogurt cake as well.

Well, Yu Cake’s blueberry yogurt cake roll actually tastes like yogurt! And it’s beautiful.

Yogurt blueberry cake roll ($8.75): The best yogurt cake ever! The center is a blueberry flavored whipped cream that actually is tangy and tastes like blueberry yogurt! You can see blueberry bits. But it’s also creamy and rich. It’s surrounded by whipped cream, a thin layer of light sponge cake (interesting purple color, tasted like plain cake), and topped with a creamy, richer buttercream, pistachios, and a dried fig. Loved the lightness, creaminess and the fact that it wasn’t too sweet. They had another flavor too, strawberry. The sign said the yogurt cake rolls were new.

I tried the strawberry yogurt cake roll and it's also very good. It's tangy and tastes like yogurt. The yogurt part has the consistency of whipped cream. 

They also have yogurt icebox cakes, yogurt mille crepe cakes, and yogurt cake jars!

They also have yogurt drinks. The yogurt was too mild for me (not sour or tangy like usual plain yogurt) and the drink was too thick (not refreshing).

Yu Cake has locations in Rosemead, City of Industry, and San Gabriel, CA.

Blueberry Yogurt Cake from Paris Baguette

Fro-yo girl here. I’ve been wanting to try the blueberry yogurt cake at Paris Baguette for years, but I didn’t want to buy a full cake. Recently, they started offering cake slices (yay). The whole cake is $31 and a slice is $4.50.

* Blueberry yogurt cake slice: The cake features three thin layers of vanilla sponge cake and three thin layers of blueberry yogurt cream with fresh strawberry slices, topped with fresh blueberries, a raspberry, and a blackberry. The cake was light but not moist. The tartness came from the fresh berries but I couldn’t taste yogurt. The yogurt cream was light and creamy. The frosting wasn’t too sweet. It reminded me of a strawberry shortcake from an Asian bakery.

I had a similar cake at Tous Les Jours, a Korean bakery and it also lacked yogurt flavor.

Paris Baguette Greek Yogurt Icing Croissants

Fro-yo girl here. Paris Baguette is always coming out with new items, like their new Greek Yogurt Icing Croissants ($2.25 each). Butter croissants topped with Greek yogurt sound wrong but I had to try one.

Paris Baguette has pretty good croissants. They’re light, buttery, airy and the thin layers have a slight crispiness. Their butter croissant is topped with a generous amount of Greek yogurt icing. The icing is like plain Greek yogurt, very lightly sweetened. It’s thick and creamy but it makes the top of the croissant soggy. I think the croissant would be better with a cup of yogurt on the side but then it wouldn’t be a Greek Yogurt Icing Croissant.

I’m going to stick with their breakfast sandwich croissants with egg, cheese and veggies. Yum.
