Servings 1 1-lb loaf pan lined with loaf-pan liner Serves about 8

Ingredients
  

  • 1 stick plus 2 Tbsp Butter soft
  • 2/3 cup Sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • grated zest of 1 Lemon
  • 3 Tbsp ground Almonds
  • 3/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/3 cup Self-Rising Flour*
  • 3 tsp AKL Culinary Lavender

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating between each addition. Add the lemon zest, ground almonds and flours and beat to a smooth batter. Finally, add the lavender and stir through.
  • Spoon the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, spread level and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. A skewer inserted into the middle of the loaf should come out clean. Remove from the oven and leave to cool in the pan for 30 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  • This cake is best eaten on the day of baking, but will keep for up to 4 days in an airtight container or frozen for up to 2 months.
  • *To make your own self-rising flour, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder and ½ teaspoon salt.
