LAVENDER-LEMON POUND CAKE
This is a decadent and gorgeous cake that would be perfect for Mother's Day or a spring or summer soiree! The sweet-tart lemony lavender glaze lends a beautiful blush of pale lavender color to the finished cake. If you like, serve slices of this pound cake with a scoop of recipe #414812 on the side, finished with a sliver of candied ginger--heavenly! Slightly adapted from the beautiful cake found on http://cakewalker.blogspot.com; the original is Claudia Fleming's cake from her book 'The Last Course'.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter and flour a 9 to 10-inch bundt pan.
- Melt the butter with 2 tablespoons of dried lavender in a small saucepan. Off the heat and let mixture steep for 10 minutes; strain and set aside to cool.
- In a large mixing bowl (use a stand mixer or a hand held one) beat together the eggs and 2 cups of sugar until thick and pale, about 5 minutes.
- Sift together the flour and salt in a bowl.
- Fold the lemon zest and one-third of the flour mixture into the eggs until thoroughly combined. Gradually fold in the remaining flour, in two batches, scraping the bowl as needed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk 1 cup of the batter with the melted butter and vanilla. Add this to the remaining batter and fold to combine.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and fill to about 2/3rds full. (Use any remaining batter to make about 4 cupcakes). Bake cake until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 50 minutes.
- Transfer the cake to a wire rack and let cool completely.
- Meanwhile, make the lavender-lemon syrup.:.
- Combine sugar, water, lemon juice and 3 tablespoons of dried lavender in a saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let steep for 3-4 minutes. The syrup will take on the slightest blush color of pale lavender.
- Position the cake on a wire rack over a rimmed sheet pan. With a fork or skewer, poke the cake all over. Brush the top and sides of the cake with almost half the syrup and let cool completely.
- For the glaze:.
- In a measuring cup with a pour spout add 2 strained tablespoons of the remaining syrup. Gradually whisk in the powdered sugar to the desired consistency, and continue to whisk until blended and smooth. Add a few drops of syrup at a time to adjust consistency, as needed.
- Drizzle the glaze onto the cake, and garnish with a sprinkle of dried lavender flowers or crystallized sugar for extra pizazz! If you like, serve cake slices with a scoop of Lemon Verbena Sorbet on the side, studded with a sliver of candied ginger.

LAVENDER POUND CAKE
This cake is a traditional twist to a traditional English pound cake! Lavender is one of my favourite scents - and it works as a flavour too. This recipe is from Beauty Mark.
