The Method

1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch cake pan.
2
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
3
In a separate bowl, beat eggs, sugar, oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
5
Fold in the diced apples and walnuts (if using).
6
Pour batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
8
While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together honey, powdered sugar, and dried lavender. Add milk, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
9
Drizzle the lavender honey glaze over the cooled cake.
10
Slice and serve.

Chef's Tips

For a richer flavor, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.

To prevent the cake from sticking, line the bottom of the cake pan with parchment paper.

The cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

For a stronger lavender flavor, infuse the honey with lavender before making the glaze by heating them gently together for 5 minutes and straining before using.
