I made this cake yesterday for a British expat friend leaving the kingdom after 26 years. Please bear in mind I am reviwing this cake with out tasting it. Whilst the cake was baking I had to steap out for a while and left my domestic maid in charge, Its a possibility she left it too long in the oven cuz it was abit dry and crumbly, it also cracked quite abit. I iced it with your lavender rose icing. I had asked my friend this morning what she though about the cake and her complain was too dry,but she loved the lavender taste and it was just right for her. I will try this cake again for myself, when i do I will review it again

Very good simple-to-make cake. I used a little less lavender than called for since I frosted it with lavender icing Lavender, Rose Icing and I was worried that the lavender would be overpowering. Shouldn't have — next time I will use the full amount. Thanks for sharing!

Cake had ggod texture but I think there could have been more lavender to provide a more distinct flavor. I made it at work, and customers liked it. I frosted it with lavnder colored frosting and sprinkled little frest blooms on top. Very pretty

Wow! I've always known you could eat the flowers, but never have tried it. This was awesome, Rita! I didn't have any red food coloring so I just made it plain with the flowers and appeared to be just fine in the presentation department. Wonderful flavor.
