Lemon Lavender Chiffon Cake

A delicate chiffon cake flavored with aromatic lavender and lemon and then glazed with tangy lemon for a delicious, interesting and unique treat that is perfect to serve for dessert or in the afternoon with tea.

Naturally, lemon and lavender make a very delicious combination and has a very distinctive flavor that I know you will love.

If you’ve never had chiffon cake before, they are Angel Cake’s more flavorful’s french cousins. In my opinion, an angel hair cake is full of foam and lack of flavor. The chiffon has an airy but still cakey texture.

It’s also very easy to take on different flavors, just like a blank canvas.

Making it is very easy. All you need are 3 bowls and an Angel Food detachable pan. There are no substitutions here. Believe me, I tried making this Lemon Lavender Chiffon Cake with a regular fluted pan and had to break it up in order to get it out.

Since Chiffon cakes and Angel foods pans can’t be greased (otherwise the cake won’t stick to the sides and grow), you need a detachable pan. The good thing is that they are fairly cheap, last a long time and can be used for any kind of cake.

For the lavender flavor, I used real lavender extract and also steeped some dried lavender flowers in hot water. The aromatic liquid was used in the inside of the cake and gave it a delicate, yet delicious flavor.

I bought my lavender at Whole Foods and they are easier to find than you might think.

I know I am using unusual ingredients for this Lemon Lavender Chiffon Cake. But believe me, they are worth it. Cooking with lavender is a pleasure and will definitely use it again for my next dessert.

When I first wrote this recipe, the cake required 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil. I accidentally forgot to add it in and the cake turned out great! So I will put the oil as an optional.
