Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

  • 2 1/2 cups (310 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 3/4 cups (350 g) granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
  • 2 cups (300 g) fresh blueberries (tossed with 1 tablespoon flour)

For the Lavender Syrup:

  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) water
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender buds

For the Frosting:

  • 1 cup (230 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 cups (480 g) powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lavender syrup (from above)

For Garnish:

  • Fresh blueberries
  • A few lavender sprigs (optional, food-safe)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream butter, oil, and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
  3. Combine: Alternate adding the dry mixture and milk into the wet ingredients, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Fold in the floured blueberries gently.
  4. Bake: Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool cakes in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  5. Prepare Lavender Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine water, sugar, and lavender. Bring to a simmer and stir until sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and let steep for 10 minutes. Strain out lavender buds and cool.
  6. Make Frosting: Beat butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, alternating with cream, until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon lavender syrup for a delicate floral note.
  7. Assemble the Cake: Brush cooled cake layers lightly with lavender syrup. Place one cake layer on a serving plate, spread frosting evenly, then top with the second cake layer. Frost the outside and top of the cake.
  8. Decorate: Garnish with fresh blueberries and a few sprigs of lavender for a stunning finish. Chill for 30 minutes before slicing for best results.
