 Specifically, a Bundt cake. More specifically a lemon lavender Bundt cake. I don’t know about you. But I am. Because cake makes EVERYTHING better.

Big storm knocking over some trees which know out the power lines do no electricity for a whole day – have some cake. Car not starting because someone (erm erm the troublemaker elf) left the lights on overnight – have some cake. Missing a very important meeting because you got stuck behind the slowest tractor in the world, which meant missing the train – well go back home and have some cake. Favourite ever dragonfly necklace lost somewhere –– two slices of cake and it is all ok.

Yeap, this lavender and lemon Bundt cake is responsible for a whole load of better. I am seriously considering renaming it the make everything better cake.

I actually developed this cake up as a pre summer get-together treat for my girlfriends. I got given this really smart barista style coffee machine which makes the most amazing and frothy cappuccinos, café lattes, espresso etc. I know this as I have made endless cups of cappuccinos and café lates over the last few weeks. Pressing the buttons on my new machine is just as addictive as the coffee and the cake itself.

So my plan is to whip up this lemon lavender Bundt cake as well as some rose and pistachio shortbread cookies, brew a whole load of tea, offer every single style of coffee the machine can churn out (coffee geek in me has figured out that it might be 144 different combinations), dot some funky metallic nail varnish and pampering products around the place and settle back for a rather lovely catch up session. Nothing can beat that, right?

I love the floral scents and taste of lavender – and it works really well with the fresh lemon. And it has just the right flavours for the start of summer. Florally, light, zesty and with the promise of the sunshine that (we all hope) is to come. Pretty much everything you need in a spring cake right?

  1. What size of cake pan is this for? 6 cup? If so, if we double the recipe should the bake time be different?

  2. I’m sorry and don’t mean to sound rude but, I don’t count commenting on how it sounds or looks as a review. Has anyone actually made this? If so, any pros / cons?
