Blueberry and Lavender Cake
Ingredients
* 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
* 1 cup granulated sugar
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
* 2 large eggs
* 1 teaspoon culinary lavender, ground
* 1 cup fresh blueberries
Instructions
1. Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a round cake pan that measures 9 inches across. Make sure to grease the pan well.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the butter and sugar and mix until light and fluffy. Work in the eggs one at a time, followed by the ground lavender.
3. Slowly blend in the flour and baking powder until you see they are just mixed in; then gently fold in the blueberries.
4. Empty the batter into the well-dressed cake tin and let it bake for 30 to 35 minutes, watching carefully for the moment when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Do not rush to let the cake cool. It must rest in the pan for at least 10 minutes before it can cool completely on a wire rack.
Note from Lavender Lady: I would recommend that you process your lavender with the sugar to incorporate. Add your favorite frosting or use the recipe below. Add blueberries to the finished dessert and enjoy!

Lavender Frosting
For lavender milk:
1/4 cup milk
2 Tbsp dried culinary lavender
For the frosting:
6 cups powdered sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup lavender-infused milk (see above)
1 tsp vanilla extract
In a small sauce pan, heat 1/4 cup milk with 2 Tbsp dried culinary lavender. Remove from heat, let cool, and allow lavender to steep for at least four hours in the fridge.
Beat softened butter with an electric mixer. Beat in 3 cups powdered sugar.
Strain dried lavender from milk by pouring it through a sieve. Top off with additional milk if needed so that you have 1/4 cup. (Some of the milk may have been absorbed by the lavender.)
Add lavender-infused milk, vanilla extract, and remaining 3 cups powdered sugar to frosting and beat until smooth. Tint desired shade of purple and spread on cake!
