This recipe produces an elegant, moist Bundt that carefully balances sweet and tart flavors with an herbaceous hint of lavender and a creamy drizzle of cream cheese glaze.

3 cups cake flour

1½ teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon baking soda

¼ teaspoon salt

2 sticks butter, softened

1½ cups sugar

4 eggs, at room temperature

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 cup sour cream

1 tablespoon dried or 2 tablespoons fresh lavender

2 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest

Sif the powdered sugar into a small bowl. Combine with the cream cheese, vanilla, and lemon juice, and milk until completely smooth. Add more milk for a thinner glaze.
