I love baking bundt cakes. They just make me smile inside and out. The multiple designed pans available, the unique flavor combinations you can create, and the beauty of a well drizzled glaze all come together in perfect harmony of happiness.
When I heard this month’s theme for #BundtAMonth was cherries, I had to think of a new idea for my cake. I opened the fridge and there was my inspiration…black cherry greek yogurt, and was resulted was an amazing
White Chocolate Black Cherry Yogurt Bundt Cake.
When I think of dried cherries, I usually picture my favorite salad or trail mix with nuts and white chocolate chips. I decided to follow this mental image, and complement the black cherry yogurt by adding white chocolate chips and dried cherries.
If you aren’t already aware, adding greek yogurt into a cake recipe produces a wonderfully moist cake. Plus the moisture helped plump up the dried cherries in the baking process. Each bite of cake is filled with the sweet melted white chocolate chips with a burst of tangy sweetness from the dried cherries. This cake was definitely a winner in my book for being filled with flavor.
I’m glad I decided to try something new for this month’s theme. I already thought my bundts were all starting to look the same, and now with this flavor combination, I definitely made something completely different, right down to the pink Wilton vanilla melts and glittery white sanding sugar.
Because a glittery cake with a little more white chocolate drizzled on top would be completely awful…said NO ONE EVER!

I think I´ll have the salad first and end it with a slice of cake… both look so tempting Karen! Using both chocolates is a great idea. I always associate cherries with dark chocolate, but white is perfect with it to.
I love to see when someone gets inspiration by the ingredients they have on hand. Excellent choice with the black cherry yogurt. Looks like a fabulous and tasty cake.

Karen…..I love your cake! Yogurt always adds to a great texture….so smart of you to use the cherry yogurt as well. Boy, for having used dried cherries…they really look so plump! And I absolutely love your pretty cherry drizzle! : )

I have a go-to cake that has yogurt in the batter but I always use plain. Why, oh, why? You are so smart! We know it is delicious, but that is also one beautiful cake!

Greek yogurt is the best, Karen! I used Black Cherry Chobani in my Chocolate Cherry Dream, too =) I also as stated on my site was inspired by you to add a mascarpone filling. (A link and credit were given, of course.)
Fantastic idea to use the Wilton pink candy melts!
The yogurt was a great idea…it does it make it so moist! Love your girly pink glazed bundt, Karen. So lovely for our cherry theme this month. Thanks for being a part of the #BundtaMonth group!
I love chocolate white dark who cares. Cherries go very well with chocolate also. Great combination.
Love the yogurt in the cake. Great job!
I like that you used the dry sweet cherries. What a pretty looking cake!!
