Instructions
Bake the Cake
- Preheat your oven to 355 F.

- In a large bowl, cream the ½ c. butter and the ½ c. sugar.
- Slowly add the 2 eggs and the lemon zest.
- When incorporated, fold in the 1 ½ c. flour, vanilla extract, and teaspoon of lavender until well combined.
- Add milk and stir one last time. The batter will be thick.
- Pour into your prepared bread tin and bake for 45 minutes, or until skewer poked in the center comes out clean.
Make the Cake Liquor
- During the last 10 minutes of baking time, make a cake-moistening drizzle with the juice of 1.5 lemons and ⅞ cup of powdered sugar in a small bowl.
- When the cake is done, poke holes in the top of the loaf and drizzle the sweet liquid all over the hot cake.
- Cool completely in the pan.
Glaze the Cake
- In a small bowl, mix together 1 ½ cups of powdered sugar with the juice of half a lemon.
- Spread the icing over the cooled cake and decorate with the pinch of lavender!
