Lavender Cake

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour a loaf pan.
2. In a small bowl, steep lavender in hot milk for 5 minutes, then strain to remove buds.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
4. In another bowl, beat softened butter until creamy, then add eggs one at a time, mixing well.
5. Stir in vanilla extract and lavender-infused milk mixture.
6. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
7. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.
8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. While the cake cools, prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar, honey, and (ground) lavender until smooth.
10. Once the cake has cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze over the top, sprinkle more lavender and let it set before serving.
