Ingredients

Scale

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup cocoa powder
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 tbsp dried lavender, finely ground

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until the batter is smooth.
Stir in the boiling water, ensuring the batter remains thin and well-combined.
Gently fold in the blueberries and ground lavender until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Frost with your favorite chocolate frosting and top with extra blueberries and a sprinkle of lavender petals.

Notes

Substitute lavender with vanilla extract if you’re looking for a more traditional flavor.
Ensure the boiling water is fully mixed in to achieve a perfectly moist cake.
Frozen blueberries can be used if fresh aren’t available.
This cake pairs well with lavender lemonade or a light rosé.
