Fro-yo girl here. I know I declared Yu Cake’s blueberry yogurt cake roll the best yogurt cake ever last year, but I hadn’t tried all their yogurt cakes at that time. Since October 2022, I’ve tried Yu Cake's mixed berry yogurt cake roll and blueberry yogurt box cake. I recently tried the raspberry yogurt cake and it’s good but the blueberry yogurt cake roll is still my favorite.
The raspberry yogurt cake slice ($8.75) is a traditional looking slice from a round, layered cake. There are three layers of sponge cake and two layers of yogurt cream, plus a layer of frosting, raspberry jelly on top, and a freeze-dried strawberry. The raspberry jelly was the most flavorful part of the cake – and the raspberry tasted natural. It’s not a soft jelly but more like a pate de fruit. The light pink sponge cake is light and fluffy but mild in flavor and not very sweet. The yogurt cream is tangy and not too sweet. It’s a good cake but I like their yogurt cake rolls better. The raspberry jelly was good but overpowered the other flavors of the cake.
I noticed that although the yogurt cakes take different forms, the components are very similar. I still have to try the yogurt mille crepe cake.
Yu Cake has locations in Rosemead, City of Industry, and San Gabriel, CA.

Fro-yo girl here. Last year I raved about Yu Cake’s yogurt cake rolls, declaring them the best yogurt cakes ever. I had a slice for my birthday too. They have other types of yogurt cake though. This time, I tried the yogurt box cake, which comes in three flavors: berry and blueberry. Each cake is $6.95.
Yogurt box cakes have similar components as the yogurt cake rolls (i.e., yogurt cream, sponge cake) but in different proportions. With the yogurt box cake, the plain yogurt cream is on the bottom of the clear box container, topped with chunky blueberry preserves, then topped with a layer of light sponge cake, and finally finished with a layer of blueberry yogurt cream and fresh blueberries. With the cake roll, the cake surrounds two layers of yogurt cream.
Blueberry yogurt box cake: The yogurt cream is smoothy, rich, and tangy. The cake was light but didn’t have much flavor. The blueberry preserves weren’t too sweet.
I still prefer the yogurt cake roll – maybe because of the buttercream on top? It’s also prettier than the yogurt box cake.
