Bake up a storm with this tantalizing Raspberry Lemon Lavender Cake recipe!

Introducing: Raspberry Lemon Lavender Cake

Hello, fellow foodies! Today, I am excited to share with you my latest culinary creation: a Raspberry Lemon Lavender Cake. This delightful dessert is perfect for any summer gathering, with its bright flavors and unique twist. I was inspired by the fresh berries and fragrant lavender growing in my garden, and I knew I had to combine them in a special treat. Let’s dive into the recipe!

Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 200g sugar
• 150g butter, softened
• 200g flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 125g fresh raspberries
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 100ml milk
• 1 tbsp dried culinary lavender

Kitchen Tools

• mixing bowl
• whisk
• cake tin
• oven preheated to 180°C

I start by whisking the eggs and sugar together in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy. Then, I add in the softened butter and mix until well combined. Next, I gently fold in the flour and baking powder until just incorporated. To enhance the flavor profile, I sprinkle in the dried culinary lavender and mix in the lemon zest for a fragrant touch.

Once the batter is smooth, I gently fold in the fresh raspberries. Be careful not to overmix to avoid crushing the delicate berries. I then pour the batter into a greased cake tin and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

As the cake bakes, the aroma of the lavender and lemon fills the kitchen, creating a tantalizing anticipation for the finished dessert. Once out of the oven, I let the cake cool slightly before slicing into generous servings.

Serving

The total weight of the cooked Raspberry Lemon Lavender Cake is approximately 800g, with about 8 servings. Each serving weighs around 100g, with an estimated calorie count of 250 calories per slice.

Tip

For an extra burst of flavor, try serving the Raspberry Lemon Lavender Cake with a dollop of whipped cream infused with a hint of lemon zest. This creamy accompaniment complements the delicate lavender and tart raspberries, elevating the dessert to a whole new level of decadence.
