Double Berry Lemon Bundt Cake

OK so the local store was having a sale on cake mixes..10 for 10 bucks. My daughter went to get the makings for tacos for me and came home with ten random cake mixes. She took a lemon one out of the bag and said "mama i love lemon, do something with this" of course i laughed because she knew i wouldnt just make the box cake (which is exactly what she was counting on) So I grabbed some lemonada yogurt, and some fresh blackberries and blueberries and set out on a cake adventure. I am sure as with all recipes someone out there has done something close to this lol but I was very excited because for me it was a first. I have never made a lemon cake before : )

It starts with a mix and then I went from there. I didnt use the ingredients called for on the box, I used more or less and then some lol.

Lemons and berries and a wonderful lemon glaze, suhc a yummy summer treat!! Served it up as a snack with a nice blueberry smoothie!
