Instructions
- 1.Preheat your grill to medium heat. Lightly grease the grates with cooking oil spray or brush with oil to prevent sticking.

- 6.Remove the glaze from heat and stir in vanilla extract (if using) and a pinch of sea salt.
- 7.Remove the grilled cakes from the grill and place them on serving plates.
- 8.Drizzle the honey-lavender glaze generously over the grilled Jersey cream cakes.
- 9.Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tips
For a more intense lavender flavor, infuse the honey with lavender buds for a few hours before making the glaze. Strain the honey before using.
If you don't have a grill, you can use a grill pan on the stovetop or bake the cakes in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes until warmed through.
Garnish with fresh berries or edible flowers for an extra touch of elegance.
Adjust the amount of lavender in the glaze to suit your taste. Start with a small amount and add more as needed.
