Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon dried lavender buds
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (for glaze)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the honey, dried lavender, lemon zest, and lemon juice until combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

- Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top and let it set for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
