Lavender Cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream

These lavender cupcakes are topped with a luscious buttercream icing and perfect for any celebration.

It’s my birthday and I’ll make cake if I want to. Cupcakes to be exact. Good lavender can be very potent and a little goes a long way. You only need about a tsp to give it the perfect amount of flavour.

I used my go-to recipe, the sour cream cake that is always a fave and just made an addition. The result was a delicious tasting cupcake.

Vanilla Buttercream

I love a good buttercream. It’s definitely one of the my favourite icings.  Usually, I just add a splash of vanilla to my buttercream icing. I wanted the vanilla to be a bit more prominent in this buttercream to go with the flavour of the cupcake. I used this recipe and added 2 tsp of vanilla. It was the perfect pairing to the lavender.
