Lavender is a hot food trend in 2011. This recipe makes tasty use of this subtle floral ingredient, which pairs quite nicely with lemon, and works wonders in this recipe.

It is important to have all of the ingredients at room temperature. When preparing the Bundt pan for baking, thoroughly grease the mold with shortening, not butter, to ensure the cake will release easily from the pan.
