lavender infused water
LAVENDER GLAZE
2 c sifted powdered sugar
1 Tbsp melted butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 c lavender water
1-2 drops purple food coloring
LAVENDER INFUSED WATER

Steps:

  • 1. To make Lavender water in a glass bowl add the lavender to the boiling water and let it sit for 2 hours, using a small wire mesh strainer pour water into another bowl or jar
  • 2. Make cake as directed on the box substituting the liquid with Lavender water, Bake as you normally would
  • 3. Remove cake from oven and cool, remove from pan and invert onto a platter. allow cake to cool completely, then drizzle the Lavender glaze over the top
  • 4. **** I pour any left over lavender water into a container and place in the refrigerator, great for making pancakes or biscuits, just substitute the regular water that is called for in the recipe
