Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • For the Lavender Glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons dried culinary lavender
  • 2 tablespoons water or lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin pan.
  2. Cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the mixture, stirring until well combined.
  4. Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the mini cakes cool, then mix powdered sugar, lavender, and water (or lemon juice) for the glaze and drizzle it over the cooled cakes.

Notes

To ensure fluffy cakes, avoid overmixing the batter. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or up to a week in the fridge.
