Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with rack in lowest position. Butter and flour two 4 1/2-by-8-inch (6-cup) loaf pans.
- In a small bowl (or liquid measuring cup), combine buttermilk with lemon zest and juice. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
- With an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- With mixer on low, add flour mixture in three parts alternately with the buttermilk mixture in two, beginning and ending with flour; beat just until smooth (do not overmix).
- Divide batter evenly between pans; smooth tops. Bake until a toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes (tent with foil if browning too quickly). Cool 15 minutes in pan. Turn out cakes onto a rack; cool completely before glazing.
- Set rack with cakes over a baking sheet lined with waxed paper. Pour glaze over cakes, letting it run down the sides; let dry, about 30 minutes.
LEMON LAVENDER CAKE

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®) generously.
- Measure 5 tablespoons milk into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave until warmed through, 30 to 45 seconds. Add lavender buds. Let steep to release their flavor, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Whisk white sugar and butter together in a large bowl until creamy. Whisk in eggs, 1 at a time, whisking well after each addition. Add 1/2 cup lemon juice and lemon zest; mix until well-blended. Stir milk and lavender buds into the batter.
- Sift cake flour and baking powder together in a bowl. Slowly fold into the batter, stirring well to prevent lumps. Pour into the greased tube pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Invert onto a wire rack to cool completely, at least 30 minutes.
- Whisk remaining 5 tablespoons milk, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and confectioners' sugar together in a small bowl to make glaze; drizzle over the cooled cake. Let stand until glaze is set, about 30 minutes.

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.
