Directions

Preheat oven to 350º F and prepare a bundt cake pan

Add eggs, one at a time, until well integrated. Add lemon juice, and mix well
Add flour, baking powder and salt, and mix until combined
Pour cake batter on bundt pan, and bake for about 45 minutes
Let the cake cool inside the pan for 15 minutes, and then invert on a wire rack and leave until completely cooled
Prepare the yogurt frosting by mixing all ingredients. Pour over lemon cake, and decorate with some summer fruits: I used nectarines, raspberries, red currants and blueberries
Keep in the fridge until consumption

You might serve the cake with vanilla icecream instead of yogurt frosting
Try this cake also with grilled peaches, let's enjoy seasonal fruits!
