  • 100 g self raising flour
  • 50 g solid cacao, grated
  • 125 g fructose
  • 125 g softened butter
  • 2.5 mls lavender petals
  • 10 mls baking powder

  • 125 g blueberries
  • 5 mls cocoa powder

Method

for the cake

  • Preheat the oven to 180° Celsius
  • butter and line a cake pan
  • coat 100g of the blueberries with the cocoa powder
  • use the balance of the cocoa powder to coat the cake pan
  • keep the 25g reserved blueberries to one side to use for decorating the cake
  • mix together all the ingredients except for the blueberries
  • fold in the coated blueberries
  • pour the mixture into the pan and bake for 30 minutes

to make a simple 'icing':

  • take one bar of Lindt Blueberry intense dark chocolate
  • melt in the microwave with 1 teaspoon butter
  • pour over the top of the cake and use a palette knife to 'ice' the cake
  • decorate with the blueberries

Notes

you must ensure that your lavender petals are not from a commercial source that sprays them. I grow my own lavender and harvest the petals when they are ready
