Ingredients

For the cake:

  • 3 c. flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 c. butter softened
  • 1 1/2 c. sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 c. light sour cream
  • 2 Tablespoons lemon zest
  • 2 Tablespoons lavender chopped

For the lavender syrup:

  • 1/2 c. sugar
  • 1/4 c. water
  • 2 Tablespoons lavender chopped

For the Lemon Glaze:

  • 1 stick butter softened
  • 3 Tablespoons milk
  • 2 c. powdered sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 Tablespoon lavender syrup

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Spray a Bundt pan with cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl cream the butter and sugar.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing after each addition. Stir in the lemon juice, sour cream, lemon zest, and lavender.
  • Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Pour into the prepared cake pan.
  • Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
  • Place the cake in the pan on a wire rack and cool for 15 minutes. Then run a butter knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake. Flip the pan over to release the cake. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  • To make the syrup combine the sugar, water, and lavender in a small saucepan. Boil for 5 minutes then remove from heat. Allow to cool for 10 minutes then brush the syrup all over the cake, reserving 1 tablespoon of the syrup.
  • To make the glaze combine the butter and milk in the bowl of a mixer and beat until smooth. Add in the powdered sugar, a half cup at a time, until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the lemon juice and the reserved lavender syrup.
  • Spread the thick glaze over top of the cake allowing some to run down the sides. Sprinkle with colored sugar or sprinkles if desired.
