Cake Ingredients

4 large eggs, room temperature Room temp eggs whip up fluffier and help your cake rise beautifully.
3/4 cup granulated sugar The right amount for a subtly sweet cake—don’t be tempted to skimp!
1 tsp vanilla extract Quality, real vanilla makes all the difference.
3/4 cup all-purpose flour Sift it for the softest sponge.
1 tsp baking powder Gives the cake its gentle lift.
1/4 tsp salt Balances all the sweet, floral notes.
2 tbsp milk, warm Helps the texture stay tender.

Filling Ingredients

1 cup lavender-infused cream You can whip your own cream with dried edible lavender or use store-bought lavender ice cream.

Instructions

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, making sure it hangs over the edges for easy lifting.
In a big bowl, beat together the eggs and sugar until the mixture is thick and pale.
Stir in the vanilla extract.
Sift together your flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold this into your egg mixture.
Pour in the warm milk slowly, stirring just until combined.
Spread the batter evenly on your prepared baking sheet.

Baking

Bake for 12-15 minutes until the cake is lightly golden and springs back when touched.
Turn the cake onto a clean kitchen towel dusted with powdered sugar. Peel away the parchment and gently roll up the cake in the towel; let it cool.

Filling & Assembly

Whip your cream infused with lavender until soft peaks form.
Carefully unroll the cooled cake, spread it with the lavender cream, and roll it back up.

Serving

Let the cake freeze until nicely firm. Slice and enjoy your cool, floral, vanilla-infused dessert.

Notes

Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a week. You can slice thick or thin, depending on your preference. Adding a few lavender sprigs or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side enhances serving.
