Lavender Pound Cake image

I made this cake few times already and it is always a success. Easy to do, very refreshing. Brought it to my DH Christmas stuff party and everything was gone. Something different without being weird. I think I got this recipe from Familly Circle magazine few years ago. The recipe makes 2 loves.

BUTTERMILK POUND CAKE

Now that I've retired from teaching, I have more time to bake. This buttermilk pound cake is the one I make most often. It is a truly southern recipe, and one I think can't be topped-once people taste it, they won't go back to their other recipes with buttermilk. -Gracie Hanchey, De Ridder, Louisiana

LAVENDER BUTTERMILK POUND CAKE

I saw a mix for this cake at World Market, and decided I needed to make one for myself. Be sure to get food-grade lavender blossoms. I order mine from MySpiceSage.com. They are very reasonable. A one-ounce bag equals about 2-3 cups in volume.
