Preparation Steps
1
First, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) to ensure it reaches the desired temperature while you prepare the batter.
2
In a bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until light and fluffy. You can use a whisk or an electric mixer for this step.
3
Add the oil, milk, and vanilla sugar, then mix well to combine.
4
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, pinch of salt, and dried lavender. The dried lavender adds a unique flavor to the cupcakes.
5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, mixing continuously until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.
6
Divide the batter evenly into muffin liners, filling them about 2/3 full to allow room for the cupcakes to rise.
7
Bake the cupcakes for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. They are ready when the tops are lightly golden brown and spring back when gently pressed.
8
Once the cupcakes are completely cool, prepare the lavender cream frosting. Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then add a small amount of dried lavender to infuse it with the desired aroma.
9
Spoon or pipe the lavender cream frosting onto the top of each cupcake.
