Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk over low heat, add dried lavender, steep for about 5 minutes, then strain and cool.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Beat softened butter and sugar 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 the 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 in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
