These Mini Lavender Blueberry Cakes are a dreamy dessert layered with vanilla sponge, fresh blueberry compote, and a delicate lavender glaze. Adorned with floral garnishes, these charming cakes are perfect for tea parties, baby showers, or spring brunches.

Ingredients

For the Vanilla Sponge:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1/2 cup sugar

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1/3 cup milk

For the Blueberry Filling:

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

  • 2 tbsp sugar

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1 tsp cornstarch

For the Lavender Glaze:

  • 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar

  • 2 tbsp milk

  • 1/2 tsp culinary lavender (steeped in warm milk, then strained)

  • Purple gel food coloring (optional)

For Garnish:

  • Fresh blueberries

  • Mint leaves

  • Dried lavender buds

  • Violet sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a sheet cake pan.

  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

  3. In a separate bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla.

  4. Gradually add dry ingredients, alternating with milk, and mix until smooth.

  5. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 20–25 minutes. Let cool completely.

  6. While the cake cools, make the blueberry filling: in a saucepan, heat blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch over medium heat until thick. Cool completely.

  7. Cut cooled cake into mini rounds or heart shapes. Spread blueberry filling between two layers to form cake sandwiches.

  8. For the glaze, mix powdered sugar with lavender-infused milk and food coloring (if using) until smooth.

  9. Pour glaze over each mini cake. Garnish with blueberries, mint, lavender buds, and sprinkles.

Notes

  • Use heart-shaped cutters for a romantic twist.

  • Infuse milk with lavender for 10 minutes, then strain before using in glaze.

  • Glaze should be pourable but not too runny—adjust sugar or milk as needed.

  • Cakes can be assembled a day in advance and stored in the fridge.
