What You'll Need

From the box:

• 1 package Tumalo Lavender Lavender-Lemon Pound Cake Mix

From your kitchen:

• 2 eggs
• 1 cup milk
• ⅓ cup butter, softened
• ½ cup sugar
• 2–3 lemons (for zest and juice)

Instructions

Cake

1. Preheat your oven to 325°F and grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
2. Cream eggs and softened butter together until well blended.
3. Add 1 tablespoon of lemon rind and half of the lavender packet to the dry cake mix and stir to combine.
4. Alternating one-third at a time, add the dry ingredients and milk into the egg and butter mixture. Mix until thoroughly blended. Do not over beat.
5. Pour batter into your prepared pan and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
6. Transfer cake to a wire rack.

Lemon-Lavender Glaze

1. Just before the cake comes out of the oven, combine ½ cup sugar, the remaining lavender packet, ½ cup lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon lemon rind in a small saucepan.
2. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is fully dissolved.
3. While the cake is still warm, prick the top all over with a fork. Pour or brush the glaze evenly over the top.
4. Allow the cake to cool completely on the rack before slicing and serving.

A Few Tips

• Fresh lemon makes a real difference here — the zest and juice brighten the lavender beautifully. Plan on 2–3 lemons depending on their size.
• Don't rush the cooling. The glaze sets and soaks in as the cake cools, so giving it the full rest time is worth it.
• This cake keeps well at room temperature for 2–3 days wrapped tightly, or in the fridge for up to a week.
