Lemon Yogurt Bundt Cake #PicnicGame

Summer! The perfect time of year to plan an afternoon in the park with the family, and bring a little lunch. It never fails though, everyone always wants a little sweet treat after the meal. One of my favorite desserts that remind me of sunshine and lazy afternoons is this delicious Lemon Yogurt Bundt Cake.

Today we are celebrating International Picnic Day by bringing you a basket packed with goodies from A to Z, in the style of the picnic game! Drop by the Sunday Supper Movement to see the whole picnic spread out on our virtual blanket.
