We love citrusy notes in our food and home aromas. These smells are uplifting and reminiscent of our good times and connections we made in our lives. Citrus is always my personal choice of flavors when it comes to baking. This Lemon Pound Cake is light and could go with your high tea or get-together on a weekend.
This Lemon Pound Cake With Lavender
One more tiny twist that actually does make a difference in flavor is a teaspoon of LAVENDER in this recipe. It is optional, but I love adding it to the cakes, especially when it comes to some special occasions, rather than daily consumption.
Our olfactory senses celebrate all kinds of flavors. Those notes that our sense of smell catches when we eat, drink, and celebrate make an impact on our memories and become part of our precious memory lane that we, sometimes, do wonder on. Lavender adds a tad of sophistication and reflection into our food.
Enjoy this Lemon Pound Cake with sprinkles of Lavender inside!

My grandma used to make a delicious lemon pound cake. I’ve never even thought about putting lavender in it though! I’ll have to try it out.
Lemon cake is so good. I’ve never added lavender before, but I’m sure it tastes divine!
I grow lavender and am always looking for a new way to use it, besides drying it and putting it in sachets or crafts. I love lemon and bet the lavender will compliment the lemon nicely. Thank you for the post.
Sally,
I would love to have some fresh lavender! And some of your sachets as well!

You may be surprised how delicate that lavender smell and taste is – and you only need 1 teaspoon for the entire recipe. Pretty nifty to me.
