Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1.5 ml lavender extract & 1 tbsp of edible lavender or earl-grey lavender tea
- 2 eggs (large)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt

- 2 to 3 tbsp of lemon juice (about one lemon)
- Zest of 2 lemons
- pinch of salt (1/4 tsp)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, edible lavender (or lavender Earl Grey tea), and lemon zest. Use your hands to mix the ingredients thoroughly.
- Next, add the eggs, olive oil, Greek yogurt, and lavender extract to the bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Sift the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and gently fold them together until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.
- Add the lemon juice and fold it in gently.
- Pour the batter into a 9-inch cake pan and bake at 350°F for about 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, allow the cake to cool before topping it with powdered sugar.
Enjoy!
