Equipment

  • 1 mixing bowls
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 rubber spatula
  • 1 9-inch round cake pan
  • 1 parchment paper
  • 1 oven
  • 1 cooling rack

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter Softened.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender Make sure to use culinary lavender intended for cooking.
  • 1.5 cups fresh blueberries

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease the 9-inch round cake pan. For easier removal, line the bottom with parchment paper.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together and set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the eggs one at a time to the sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture to ensure a smooth batter. Mix until just combined.
  • Gently fold in the dried lavender and fresh blueberries using a rubber spatula, being careful not to break the berries.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes
