Orange-Lavender Bundt Cake is a flavorful, moist cake with a hint of lavender, just in time for the next casual or formal dinner. This easy bundt cake recipe calls for dried lavender flowers, but you could substitute fresh lavender (or even any other flavoring). This sweet cake is perfect for serving during dinner or enjoying after dinner as dessert. It’s a must-make for all holidays! 

Bundt cakes can be a little intimidating to make at home, but they’re not too hard to perfect! Even better, you can make one in the shape of a flower, bunny, cat, or dog.

This delicious cake is made with Noubess Lavender Flower. The freshness of the orange juice and zest mixed with the lavender flower is the perfect combination. This cake is perfect for any occasion and can be prepared in any season. All the ingredients are available and easy to find.

You could find other bundt cake recipes online, but this is one that leaves you with a moist and light cake with just enough citrus notes to match the floral lavender. The combination of flavors is unexpected but ideal for brunch or dinner with family and friends who will appreciate something more unusual than the cinnamon-apple cake many of us grew up on.

INSTRUCTIONS

• In a large bowl or your standup mixer bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.

• Drizzle over the cake. If desired, top with additional grated orange zest. Store in the refrigerator.
