Lemon Lavender Cupcakes
To add a citrus flavor and aroma to any yellow or white cake recipe, add ½ to 1 teaspoon of lemon zest (finely grated) to the batter before baking. To add a subtle lemon flavor and aroma to vanilla frosting, add a teaspoon or two of lemon juice and ¼ teaspoon of lemon flavoring to frosting. Sprinkle dried lavender buds lightly over frosted cupcakes.
