Whisk away with Lavender Lemon Olive Oil Cake and Honey Sage Glaze!

Exploring a Unique Dessert Creation

As the weather starts to warm up and the days get longer, I find myself craving light and refreshing desserts that are perfect for summer gatherings. Today, I’m excited to share with you a completely new and unique dessert recipe that combines unexpected flavors and textures for a truly unforgettable treat.

For this special dessert, we’ll be creating a Lavender Lemon Olive Oil Cake with a Honey Sage Glaze. This delicate cake is infused with the floral notes of lavender, the bright citrusy flavor of lemon, and the subtle earthiness of olive oil, all topped off with a sweet and herby honey sage glaze. Trust me, this dessert is like nothing you’ve ever tasted before!

To bring this recipe to life, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 200g all-purpose flour
• 150g sugar
• 10g baking powder
• 2g salt
• 2g dried lavender
• 10g lemon zest
• 2 eggs
• 100ml olive oil
• 150ml milk
• 50ml honey
• 10g fresh sage

Gather your kitchen tools before you begin:

• mixing bowl
• whisk
• measuring cups
• measuring spoons
• round cake pan
• saucepan

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (180°C) and greasing your round cake pan. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, dried lavender, and lemon zest. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then mix in the olive oil and milk. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. While the cake is baking, prepare the honey sage glaze by simmering the honey and chopped sage in a saucepan until fragrant.

Once the cake is done baking, let it cool slightly before drizzling the honey sage glaze over the top. The combination of flavors in this Lavender Lemon Olive Oil Cake with Honey Sage Glaze is simply divine — the floral lavender, tart lemon, and savory olive oil create a complex and delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion.

This dessert weighs approximately 800 grams and serves 8 people, with each serving coming in at around 100 grams. As for calories, each serving is estimated to be around 300 calories.

One clever tip for this recipe is to infuse the olive oil with fresh lavender overnight before using it in the cake batter. This will enhance the floral notes in the dessert and make the flavors even more pronounced.

I hope you enjoy making and tasting this unique dessert creation. Feel free to experiment with different herb and citrus combinations to make this recipe your own. Happy baking!
