Ingredients

Lemon Cake

3 large Eggs
¾ cup Olive Oil
1 cup Whole Milk
2 cups All-purpose Flour sifted
1 tsp Baking Powder
½ tsp Baking Soda
1 ½ cups Granulated sugar
¼ tsp salt
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
Culinary Lavender enough to sprinkle over top - to taste; substitute with any other edible flowers, confectionery, fresh or candied fruit.

Lemon Glaze

10-12 tbsp Confectioners' Sugar this will be mixed with the leftover squeezed lemon juice you have from making the cake; add more/less as needed to achieve desired consistency.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 °F (180°C).
Zest your lemons, then slice each in half & squeeze out fresh juice (*important to zest your lemons first before juicing*). Use about a ¼ cup of juice for the cake batter, and set the rest aside for the lemon glaze. Use about 2 tbsp of zest for the cake batter, and save the rest for garnishing the cake afterward.
Grease the sides of your Bundt cake pan.
In a medium bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt – whisk together gently.
Using a mixer (*quicker*) on med-high or in a separate large bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and lemon zest together until they appear white in color and fluff up in volume. (*Save some lemon zest to garnish the cake afterward*).
Turn the mixer to low speed, and add the oil, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix until nicely blended.
Add in about ½ of the flour mixture, followed by about ½ of the milk. Repeat until all ingredients are mixed in.
Pour the cake batter into your Bundt pan.
Bake in the preheated oven on the middle rack for approx. 35 minutes (*use a toothpick, poke the cake – it’s done when the toothpick comes out clean*).
Meanwhile, take the leftover squeezed lemon juice & add confectioners' sugar to make your glaze (I used about 10-12 tbsp with the amount of juice I had left, but add more/less according to your desired consistency).
Remove cake from oven and let cool for at least 15 minutes.
Grab a plate or cake stand, turn the Bundt cake in the pan upside down, tap the bottom of the pan a few times, and your cake should fall out nicely. If not, take a knife and gently unstick the sides of the cake from the edges of the pan.
Right before serving, drizzle your lemon glaze over top of the cake in a zig-zag motion. Add leftover lemon zest and pinches of culinary lavender as garnish, slice, serve, enjoy! Share your creation with us if you try! #LaCucinadiKerrs
