Ingredients

8 sprig(s)	lavender, blooming
280 g	sugar, superfine
250 g	butter, at room temperature
2	lemons, grated rind
1 pinch(es)	fine sea salt
4 large	eggs
60 g	flour, sieved
175 g	almonds, ground
50 ml	lemon juice, freshly pressed
	For the glaze:
200 g	icing sugar
	juice of 1/2 lemon
	lavender flowers to garnish

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180░C. Grease a loaf pan (23*13 cm) with butter.

Pick the lavender flowers from the sprigs. In a bowl, mix the blossoms with sugar, butter, lemon rind and salt. Stir until creamy. In turn stir in with a wooden spoon each at a time an egg and approximately 15g of the flour until used up. Stir in the almonds and the lemon juice.

Fill the batter into the loaf pan and flatten. Bake for approximately 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to 165░C and bake for further 50-55 minutes.

Remove from the oven and transfer on a wire rack. Leave the cake in the tin for another 5 minutes, then turn out on the wire rack and allow to cool.

For the glaze:
Sieve the icing sugar into a bowl and stir in the lemon juice spoon by spoon. The mixture should be thickly but still spreadable. If the mixture is too thick, add more juice.

Evenly divide the glaze on top of the cake and allow the glaze to run down partly over the edges. If necessary, dip the brush into hot water now and then. Allow the glaze to get firm. Garnish the cake with lavender flowers.
