1/2 cup pecans
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup sugar
1 sprig rosemary
1 tablespoon dried lavender buds
Kosher salt

POUND CAKE WITH BLUEBERRIES AND LAVENDER SYRUP



Pound Cake with Blueberries and Lavender Syrup image

We used dried lavender in this syrup because it gives the syrup a lovely pale hue. Fresh lavender won't lend the same color, but it does give the syrup a more powerful floral flavor.

Categories     Cake     Herb     Dessert     Bake     Kid-Friendly     Blueberry     Summer     Gourmet     Kidney Friendly     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher     Small Plates

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

For cake:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature for 30 minutes
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup whole milk, at room temperature
For blueberries in syrup:
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
4 teaspoons dried edible lavender flowers or 2 tablespoons fresh edible lavender flowers
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
10 oz blueberries (1 pt)
Special Equipment
9x5x3-inch metal loaf pan

Steps:

  • Make cake:
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Generously butter and flour loaf pan, knocking out excess flour.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Beat together butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes in a stand mixer or 5 with a handheld. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition, then beat in zest and vanilla. Reduce speed to low and add flour mixture and milk alternately in batches, beginning and ending with flour and mixing until just incorporated.
  • Spoon batter into loaf pan and bake until golden and a wooden pick or skewer inserted in center comes out with crumbs adhering, 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Cool cake in pan on a rack 30 minutes, then invert onto rack and cool completely.
  • Prepare blueberries in syrup:
  • Bring water and sugar to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in lavender, then steep 30 minutes for dried lavender or 40 minutes for fresh. Pour syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding lavender. Stir in lemon juice and blueberries.
  • Spoon berries and syrup over slices of cake just before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh lavender flowers: Fresh lavender flowers have the most vibrant flavor and aroma. If you can't find fresh lavender, you can use dried lavender buds, but reduce the amount you use by half.
  • Use a good-quality honey: The type of honey you use will affect the flavor of the syrup. Choose a honey that has a mild flavor, such as clover honey or orange blossom honey.
  • Don't boil the syrup: Boiling the syrup will cause it to lose its delicate flavor. Instead, simmer it gently over low heat.
  • Let the syrup cool completely before using it: This will allow the flavors to meld together.
  • Store the syrup in a cool, dark place: The syrup will keep for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.

Conclusion:

Lavender syrup is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of drinks and desserts. It's perfect for adding a touch of floral flavor to cocktails, mocktails, lemonade, iced tea, and sparkling water. You can also use it to flavor desserts, such as cakes, cookies, and ice cream. With its beautiful color and delicate flavor, lavender syrup is sure to impress your friends and family.
