Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare an 8-inch cake pan with cooking spray.
- Whisk together the yogurt, eggs, canola oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, sugar, and 4 tablespoons limoncello in a large bowl. In a separate large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gently stir the dry ingredients into the wet. Do not over mix or the cake will be tough. Pour batter into prepared pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
- Stir the powdered sugar and 3 tablespoons of limoncello together in a small bowl until smooth. Poke small holes all over the top of the still-warm cake with a fork or toothpick. Spoon the glaze over the cake and spread with the back of a spoon. The glaze will seep into the cake and add moisture.

Tips:
- Use fresh lemons. Fresh lemons will give your cake a brighter, more flavorful taste.
- Zest the lemons before juicing them. This will release the essential oils from the lemon peel, which will give your cake a more intense lemon flavor.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly and prevent it from becoming runny.
- If you don't have a Bundt pan, you can use a 9x13 inch baking pan. Just bake the cake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the cake for up to 2 months.
Conclusion:
Limoncello cake is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. If you are looking for a new cake recipe to try, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
