Ingredients

Cake,

½ cup Brown Cow plain yogurt

1 cup granulated sugar

1 egg plus 2 egg whites

½ cup butter, melted

2 tablespoons flavorless oil

1 cup all purpose flour

½ cup cake flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon food grade lavender, slightly muddled

Zest of one large lemon, about 1 tablespoon

Glaze,

¼ cup lemon juice

1 cup powdered sugar, more for finishing

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9-inch cake pan.

In a medium bowl, whisk the yogurt, sugar, egg and egg yolks together. While continuing to whisk, slowly pour in the melted butter. Continue to whisk until fully incorporated. Add in the flavorless oil and mix just until combined.

Add in the all-purpose flour, cake flour, baking powder, salt, lavender, and lemon zest. Mix until the batter is smooth and glossy. Pour into the prepared baking pan and bake for 30-35 minutes. The cake will be done just before it starts to turn golden, take out of the oven as soon as the top center is set.

Let the cake cool about 10 minutes before turning out onto a cake plate. Mix the glaze ingredients together and brush all around the warm cake. Dust the rest of the cake with powdered sugar.

Serve warm or at room temperature.
