– 1 tbsp confectioners’ sugar for dusting
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and generously grease a 10-inch Bundt pan with clarified butter, ensuring every crevice is coated to prevent sticking.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sifted all-purpose flour, baking powder, and fine sea salt until fully combined; set aside.
3. Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the clarified butter and granulated sugar on medium-high speed for 3–4 minutes until light and fluffy, scraping down the bowl once halfway through.
4. With the mixer on low, gradually add the lightly beaten pasture-raised eggs one at a time, mixing for 30 seconds after each addition until fully incorporated, then blend in the pure vanilla extract.
5. Alternate adding the flour mixture and whole milk to the butter mixture in three additions, starting and ending with the flour, mixing on low speed just until combined after each; avoid overmixing to keep the cake tender.
6. Gently fold in the culinary-grade dried lavender buds and fresh blackberries with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top with an offset spatula, and tap the pan firmly on the counter twice to release any air bubbles.
8. Bake at 350°F for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake is golden brown with a slight spring back when touched.
9. Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes, then invert it onto the rack to cool completely to room temperature, about 1 hour.
10. Just before serving, dust the top lightly with confectioners’ sugar using a fine-mesh sieve for an even, elegant finish.
Just baked, this cake boasts a moist, velvety crumb that melts in your mouth, with the lavender’s subtle perfume balancing the blackberries’ bright acidity. Serve it warm with a dollop of whipped crème fraîche or slice it thick for a brunch table centerpiece—either way, it’s a fragrant dream come true.
Butterscotch Toffee Crunch Bundt Cake
Buckle up for a dessert that’s pure, unapologetic indulgence. This cake delivers deep butterscotch flavor and a satisfying crunch in every single bite. It’s the showstopper your next gathering desperately needs.
Serving: 12 | Pre Time: 25 minutes | Cooking Time: 55 minutes
Ingredients
– 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, sifted
– 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
– 1 cup unsalted butter, clarified and cooled
– 1 cup full-fat buttermilk
– 4 large pasture-raised eggs, lightly beaten
– 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
– 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
– ½ teaspoon baking soda
– ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
– 1 cup English toffee bits
– ½ cup dark brown sugar, firmly packed
– ¼ cup heavy cream
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
– ½ teaspoon flaky sea salt
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease a 10-cup Bundt pan with non-stick baking spray, ensuring all crevices are coated.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sifted all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and fine sea salt until fully combined.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the clarified butter, lightly beaten pasture-raised eggs, full-fat buttermilk, and pure vanilla extract, whisking until the mixture is homogenous and slightly frothy.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and fold gently with a spatula until just combined; a few streaks of flour are acceptable to prevent overmixing and a tough crumb.
5. Fold in ¾ cup of the English toffee bits, reserving the remainder for the topping, until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
6. Transfer the batter to the prepared Bundt pan, using the spatula to smooth the top into an even layer.
7. Bake on the center rack for 50-55 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the deepest part comes out completely clean with no moist crumbs attached.
8. While the cake bakes, prepare the butterscotch glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the dark brown sugar, heavy cream, and 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter.
9. Stir constantly with a heatproof spatula for 3-4 minutes until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture thickens slightly to a pourable syrup consistency; immediately remove from heat to prevent burning.
10. Let the baked cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for exactly 15 minutes to allow it to contract slightly for easy release, then invert it onto the rack to cool completely.
11. Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the warm butterscotch glaze evenly over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides.
12. Immediately sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of toffee bits and the flaky sea salt over the glazed cake before it sets.
Zesty contrasts define this masterpiece: the tender, moist crumb gives way to pockets of crunchy toffee, while the salted butterscotch glaze adds a sophisticated, bittersweet finish. Serve slightly warm with a dollop of bourbon-spiked whipped cream to elevate the caramel notes, or enjoy a slice with strong black coffee to cut through the richness.
