Lavender, Honey and Almond Cake
I have a deep love for floral flavours! As if, you didn’t know. Any special occasion and the first thing that comes to my mind is lavender or rosewater (yes, chocolate too). Since the occasion is Mother’s Day and the best part being that my Mum is around at the moment, I really wanted to make this unique, fragrant cake for her. Food is very much a sensory experience as much as it is for nourishing our bodies. When I was little, my Mum would use a lot of lavender perfumed cosmetics at home. And it goes without saying that there was no access to culinary lavender at the time. Perhaps no one even imagined that these gorgeous flowers have more to them than just their fragrance. But aren’t we so lucky that someone has done all the hard work for us and now we can easily open up a little box and infuse the most Divine flowers into our food"
Unlike what a lot of people think, lavender is really simple to use. You could pretty much replace them in any recipe that calls for vanilla, spices or any other fragrant ingredient. The only thing to remember is that ‘less is more’. A few dried flowers are enough to perfume a large cake or a dessert or a big jug of cordial (I’m just crazy about blueberry-lavender cordial). Culinary lavender is also used in savoury dishes to add that special touch to them.
This cake is simple and easy to make. The frosting does make it celebratory but even without it, the cake would make a fantastic tea time treat....
