2 tsp dried lavender
2 1/4 cups cake-flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter (room temperature )
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large egg whites
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp lavender extract
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp dried lavender
1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature )
8 ounces cream cheese (super soft)
3 cups powdered sugar
1/2 tsp lavender extract
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a small bowl add the milk and dried lavender and let it sit for about 15 minutes. You can also do this the day before and let it infuse in the refrigerator.
  • In a sieve sift flour, baking powder, and salt into a mixing bowl and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl with the paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy.
  • In a large measuring cup, strain the infused milk and add the egg whites and extracts.
  • Turn the mixer to low speed and alternate the dry and wet ingredients. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl.
  • Pour the batter into a 9x9x3 square pan OR two 8×8 round pans to make a layered cake.
  • Bake the cake for 30 minutes. This may change depending on the pan you're using. Set the time for 25 minutes and then add more time if needed. Our square 9x9x3 cake took 30 minutes to bake.
  • Once the cake is done baking and has cooled, turn it upside down and then using a wooden toothpick make 12 little holes in the cake by poking it.
  • Using a pastry brush, brush the lavender syrup over the cake. You won't use all of the syrup, but at least 1/2 of it.
  • Add water, sugar, and dried lavender into a small saucepan.
  • Simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes until the sugar dissolves.
  • Remove from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
  • Strain the dried lavender through a sieve and into a bowl.

  • When the cake is cooled, add a layer of whipped frosting over the top and spread evenly.
  • Decorate the cake with edible flowers.

3/4 teaspoon anise extract
4 tablespoons cherry liqueur
1 tablespoons vodka
20 drops lavender oil (recommended: Herb Farm)
3 to 4 drops purple food color gel

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Prepare a cupcake pan with 24 cupcake liners.
  • Combine the flour, pudding mix, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Crack the eggs into a second bowl and add vanilla extract. Measure the milk and half-and-half into a third bowl. In a 5-quart mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the butter until fluffy. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides using a spatula. Turn the mixer on first speed, add the sugar, and mix until fluffy. Add the eggs 1 at a time. Scrape down the bowl. Add the sour cream and mayonnaise and incorporate completely. Scrape down the bowl. Add the dry ingredients, alternating with the wet. You will start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix the batter until smooth and no lumps are present. Add the extracts and food coloring gel. Mix well using a spatula until all the color is incorporated completely.
  • Fill the cupcake liners using a 2-ounce scoop. Spray the cupcake pan with the cooking spray this is done after the liners are filled. Bake until golden brown and fluffy, 17 minutes. Let the cupcakes cool completely before decorating.
  • To assemble: Place a round time #809 into a large piping bag. Fill with Lavender Buttercream and generously pipe onto each cupcake. Garnish each cupcake with 2 rice paper feathers, 1 small fresh lavender petals, and 1 large pearl. Sprinkle with edible glitter.
  • In a 5-quart mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and shortening together. On first speed, add the sifted powdered sugar to the bowl in 3 parts. Let each part incorporate into the butter mixture before adding the next. After adding all the sugar, put the mixer on the fourth (highest) speed and mix for 8 to 10 minutes. The buttercream will begin to gain volume and look white and fluffy. Once you bring the buttercream to full volume, add the extracts, liqueur, vodka, and lavender oil and incorporate completely. Add purple food color to desired shade.

Categories     Desserts     Fruit Dessert Recipes     Lemon Dessert Recipes

Time 2h15m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 10

10 tablespoons milk, divided
1 tablespoon dried lavender buds
1 ½ cups white sugar
½ cup butter, melted
5 eggs
¾ cup lemon juice, divided
1 ½ lemon, zested
2 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®) generously.
  • Measure 5 tablespoons milk into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave until warmed through, 30 to 45 seconds. Add lavender buds. Let steep to release their flavor, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Whisk white sugar and butter together in a large bowl until creamy. Whisk in eggs, 1 at a time, whisking well after each addition. Add 1/2 cup lemon juice and lemon zest; mix until well-blended. Stir milk and lavender buds into the batter.
  • Sift cake flour and baking powder together in a bowl. Slowly fold into the batter, stirring well to prevent lumps. Pour into the greased tube pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Invert onto a wire rack to cool completely, at least 30 minutes.
  • Whisk remaining 5 tablespoons milk, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and confectioners' sugar together in a small bowl to make glaze; drizzle over the cooled cake. Let stand until glaze is set, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lavender. Fresh lavender has the most intense flavor and aroma. If you can't find fresh lavender, you can use dried lavender, but be sure to use less of it, as it is more concentrated.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help the cake rise evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • 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:

Lavender cake with lavender glaze is a delicious and beautiful cake that is perfect for any occasion. The lavender flavor is delicate and floral, and the glaze adds a touch of sweetness and shine. This cake is sure to impress your friends and family.
