3. Once chilled, whip with sweetener and coloring until soft peaks form.

• 1–2 tbsp lemon juice
• Optional: extra lavender or edible flowers for decoration
Assembly:
1. Bake the cakes:
Preheat to 175°C (350°F), mix wet and dry separately, combine, for ~25 mins. Let cool.
2. Layer it:
• Place one cake layer down
• Add a thick layer of the lavender whipped cream (you can pipe or spread it)
• Top with the second cake layer
3. Finish it off:
• Drizzle with lemon glaze or dust with powdered sugar
• Decorate with dried lavender buds or fresh flowers
Pro tip: if you add any citrus fruit the sour will boost the flavor of lavender 100x - it can be as a juice or dried lemon/orange pieces 🍋🍊
So yummy and addictive 😍😍❤️
