What does lavender taste like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lavender tastes the way it smells; lightly floral and woody. Some say it has hints of rosemary and mint with a bit of citrus. These flavors all make it a great pairing with lemon's sweet and tart notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have several lavender bushes that I know have never been treated with any chemicals, making them safe for culinary use. If you want to use real lavender blossoms, either fresh or dried, be sure they are organically grown unless you want a mouth full of pesticides. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also opt use Taylor and Colledge<\/a> lavender extract paste, a little goes a long way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natural Food Dyes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My family doesn't really like artificially colored foods or medicines. I believe my son and I are overly sensitive to them. I swear I can taste a weird chemical aftertaste, especially red, in many commercial products. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I got the Purple Sweet Potato Powder from Selefina<\/a> I knew I wanted to use it as a food dye. Just a pinch was all that was needed to get the color I was going for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don't have any, you can use a few drops of red and blue liquid coloring to achieve the desired color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What type of lemons to use for lemon pound cake?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This recipe is made extra special with Meyer lemons from Melissa's Produce<\/a>. Meyer lemons are a cross between lemons and mandarin oranges. This gives them a sweeter taste with a thinner peel compared to other lemons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use other lemons such as Lisbon or Eureka (often just labeled as \"lemons\" at the grocery store). The cake will be a bit more tart, but you can add a bit more sugar if desired. <\/p>\n\n\n

What type of pan to use for Lemon Pound Cake?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although it is a cake, pound cake is almost always baked in a loaf pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The recipe below calls for one 8.5 x 4.5 inch loaf pan. You can use a larger 9 x 5 inch loaf pan or three small individual pans (like I did). Baking in either of these pans will be faster so you will need to start checking for doneness after 20 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n
