Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare two 9-inch round cake pans by greasing and flouring them.
In a small saucepan over low heat, warm the whole milk with dried lavender buds for about 5 minutes. Let it cool slightly and strain the buds.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream softened butter and sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 3–4 minutes).
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then incorporate lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
Gradually mix in dry ingredients alternating with lavender-infused milk until just combined.
Divide batter into prepared pans and bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks.
