Ingredients Spotlight
Key to the cake's enchanting flavor is quality ingredients. Fresh culinary lavender and pure honey elevate it, turning the ordinary cake into a gourmet delight. Such ingredients not only add depth to the taste but also infuse the cake with a delightful aroma.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons culinary lavender
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Мethod of preparation
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Take a small saucepan, gently warm the milk without boiling, and then stir in the honey and lavender. Let this mixture sit for a few minutes to infuse.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla extract. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the lavender milk, until just combined. Pour into the prepared cake pan.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool before serving. This cake's subtle flavors are best enjoyed with a light dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of honey.
