Lavender Cupcakes image

The lavender in these cupcakes is understated yet elegant and thoroughly unique. If the frosting part of the recipe does not appeal to you, you may substitute your favorite buttercream frosting instead.

Time 48m

Yield 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon dried lavender flowers
1/2 cup butter, at room temperature
2 eggs
1 cup self-rising flour
2 tablespoons milk
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 egg white
lilac food coloring
12 sprigs of fresh lavender (optional)

Steps:

  • CUPCAKES:.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F; line a 12 count muffin pan with paper liners.
  • Put the sugar and lavender flowers in a food processor. Process briefly to combine.
  • Tip the lavender sugar into a bowl with the butter and beat together until pale and fluffy.
  • Beat the eggs into the butter mixture, one at a time, then sift in the flour and fold gently. Stir in the milk, then spoon the mixture into the muffin cups.
  • Bake for about 18 minutes until risen and golden and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  • DECORATING:.
  • To decorate, gradually beat the confectioners' sugar into the egg white in a bowl, then add a few drops of food coloring and stir to achieve a lavender-colored icing.
  • Spoon the icing over the cupcakes, then top each one with a sprig of fresh lavender or candy sprinkles. Let set before serving.

These cupcakes are a great way to use up leftover lavender. I had some dried lavender from last summer and I decided to use it in these cupcakes. They turned out beautifully!

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cupcakes didn't turn out very well. They were dry and the lavender flavor was too strong. I think I might have overmixed the batter.
