190 g flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
113 g butter
225 g sugar
2 tablespoons lemon zest
2 tablespoons lavender
3 eggs
150 g Greek yogurt

Steps:

  • MAIN:.
  • Set butter, eggs, and greek yogurt out to reach room temperature.
  • Preheat oven to 175°C/350°F Grease loaf pan with butter.
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Cream butter, then add sugar, lemon zest, and lavender. Beat until light and well combined.
  • Add eggs one at a time to the butter mixture.
  • In another separate bowl, combine the greek yogurt with some of the lemon juice and vanilla extract.
  • Pour dry ingredients into butter mixture, then add yogurt.
  • Add rest of flour and stir to combine.
  • Pour batter into loaf pan and bake for about 55 minutes or so.
  • Remove from oven and cool for around 15 minutes and then place on rack to cool.
  • ICING:
  • Combine together icing sugar, lemon juice until smooth. I like the loaf to be more zesty, hence I used a whole lemon's juice for the icing.
