To make this cake, you will need the following ingredients:

For the cake:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon dried lavender

For the frosting:

- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon dried lavender
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and grease two 9-inch cake pans. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Next, add in the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined. Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and dried lavender. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
While the cakes are baking, prepare the frosting. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and dried lavender and mix until well combined.
Once the cakes have cooled, place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a layer of frosting on top. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake. Garnish with additional dried lavender and lemon zest, if desired.
This Lemon Lavender Celebration Cake is a perfect combination of tangy and floral flavors. The cake is moist and fluffy, while the frosting is sweet and creamy. This dessert is sure to impress your guests and is perfect for any special occasion.
