Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 325°F and prepare a 12-cup Bundt pan by greasing and flouring it.

  2. Cream butter with granulated sugar until light, then beat in eggs one at a time.

  3. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt.

  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the creamed mixture, alternating with sour cream, beating until well blended after each addition.

  5. Fold in 1 1/2 tablespoons dried lavender, juice, and zest of 2 lemons.

  6. Spoon the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  7. For the glaze, heat the juice of 1 lemon and 2 teaspoons lavender flowers until hot, then strain and discard the flowers.

  8. In a bowl, combine confectioners' sugar with the hot lemon juice and enough hot water to achieve a drizzling consistency.

  9. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
