  • Total Time: 38 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup whole milk (for glaze)
  • 1/2 teaspoon culinary lavender
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Edible flowers and lemon zest for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your mini bundt pan thoroughly.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and baking soda until well combined and free of lumps.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar and light brown sugar until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add eggs one at a time while mixing on low speed, then mix in Greek yogurt, milk, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until just combined.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula, being careful not to overwork it.
  6. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared mini bundt pan cavities and bake for 15–18 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Allow cooling for several minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely before glazing.
