Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¼ cup (60ml) fresh lemon juice (about 12 lemons)
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • ½ cup (120ml) whole milk (can swap with almond milk)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried culinary lavender buds
  • 2 tablespoons hot water

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease mini bundt pan with butter and dust with flour, tapping out excess.
  2. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl; set aside.
  3. Beat softened butter and granulated sugar with a mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  5. Mix in fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
  6. Alternately add dry ingredients and milk to the wet mixture, starting and ending with dry ingredients. Mix on low speed until just combined.
  7. Spoon or pipe batter evenly into mini bundt cavities, filling about 3/4 full.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool bundts in pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto wire rack and cool completely.
  10. Steep lavender buds in hot water for 5 minutes, then strain.
  11. Whisk powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lavender-infused water until smooth; adjust consistency if needed.
  12. Drizzle glaze over cooled bundts and let set for 15-20 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use culinary-grade lavender buds to avoid bitterness. Do not over-steep lavender. Cool cakes completely before glazing to prevent glaze from melting. Use a small cookie scoop or piping bag for even batter distribution. Grease and flour pans well to prevent sticking.
