LEMON-LAVENDER CUPCAKES
Delicious lemon cupcakes with a hint of lavender and creamy lemon frosting. These are not your Mama's cupcakes. Updated with a light, moist texture and just an 'ever-so-subtle' Provencal taste. My husband did not know there was lavender in them. He loved my 'secret' ingredient. Try to eat just one... I dare you!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a 12-cup cupcake tin with cupcake liners.
- Whisk flour, chopped lavender, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Set aside.
- Beat sugar and butter together in a bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in egg, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
- Beat 1/3 cup of flour mixture into lemon mixture until just combined. Beat in 1/4 cup buttermilk, followed by another 1/3 cup flour mixture; add remaining buttermilk and flour mixture and stir to combine.
- Spoon batter into the cupcake liners, filling each 2/3 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 16 to 18 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before transferring cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Stir confectioners' sugar and lemon juice together in a bowl until smooth. Stir in lemon zest. Drizzle over cooled cupcakes and garnish with lavender.
