Lavender & Honey Teacakes (semi wholly)

Recently I visited Department of Caffeine, a newly opened cafe @ Duxton Road.

They had these honey & lavender petite cakes that looked so good, so I bought a tiny piece to try & wow..I havent taste a cake with a lavender flavour before & it is pretty good. 

So that got me inspired to bake my own...

How was it?
a-maz-ing. this is one of my best bakes. the lavender taste comes off with a pleasant tinge and it complements the taste of honey. these cakes are very moist and soft as well, just a tad too greasy. has a heavenly lavender aroma that filled my kitchen! mmmhmm! i've also cut down on the sugar from the original recipe...sweetness is subjective...i thought these cakes were slightly sweet but they taste so good. made too glaze as well. love the slightly gritty texture from the wholemeal flour.

Better it up!
cut down butter to 200g. halve the recipe for glaze.
