Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream
  • q.s. fresh lavender sprinkles to taste
  • q.s. lemon slices for decoration

Equipment

  • Two 9-inch round cake pans
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Electric mixer (hand or stand)
  • Spatula
  • Wire cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt, and set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Stir in the lemon zest and fresh lemon juice until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in the dried lavender, being careful not to overmix.
  7. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Prepare the white chocolate frosting by melting the white chocolate chips and letting them cool slightly. Beat the butter until creamy, then add the powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Gradually mix in the melted white chocolate and cream until you reach the desired consistency.
  10. Frost the cooled cakes with the white chocolate frosting, decorating with fresh lavender sprigs and lemon slices.
