Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoons salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 0.5 cups milk
  • Zest and juice of 2 lemons
  • 2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1.5 teaspoons of baking powder, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat together 1 cup of unsalted butter and 1.5 cups of granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add Eggs: Beat in 4 large eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  5. Add Lemon and Lavender: Stir in the zest and juice of 2 lemons, along with 2 tablespoons of dried culinary lavender. Mix well.
  6. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with 0.5 cups of milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  7. Prepare for Baking: Transfer the batter to the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The cake should be lightly golden on top.
  9. Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Ensure eggs are fully incorporated before adding the next for a smooth batter.
  • Use dried culinary lavender specifically for flavoring, not fresh flowers.
  • Let the cake cool completely on a wire rack for best texture before serving.
