Cloud cake


☁️Cloud cake☁️
🍋Lemon lavender chamomile
Or
🍊Blood orange lavender chamomile
Both equally delicious!

I love fresh lavender so I came up w a little variation on the average lemon loaf/pound cake, which I personally think is better than the famous Starbucks lemon loaf. Try for yourself and be the judge! I smashed the first loaf in one sitting🤷‍♀️.

•Pour the glaze on top of the cooled loaves to avoid it running all over the place. It takes about 20 mins to become a solid glaze and no longer wet.
