Lavender Buttermilk Pound Cake image

I saw a mix for this cake at World Market, and decided I needed to make one for myself. Be sure to get food-grade lavender blossoms. I order mine from MySpiceSage.com. They are very reasonable. A one-ounce bag equals about 2-3 cups in volume.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 c butter (1 stick) softened to room temperature, not melted
1 1/2 c sugar
4 eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla
2 c cake flour
1/4 c dry buttermilk powder
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1/4 tsp salt

This cake is a waste of time. It didn't taste good and it was a lot of work to make.

This recipe is not very clear. I had a hard time following it and my cake didn't turn out well.

I found that the cake was a bit dry. I think I might try adding some extra buttermilk next time.

I'm not a huge fan of lavender, but I really enjoyed this cake. The lavender flavor was very subtle and didn't overpower the other flavors.

I was a bit skeptical about the lavender flavor, but I was pleasantly surprised. It added a delicate and floral note that perfectly complemented the sweetness of the cake.
