  1. I made this for a book club. We had read The Unlikely Lavender Queen. I have never made an angel food cake with part powdered sugar but I believe I like it better! Soft and moist on the inside with a bit of light, flaky crust exterior. I used three tablespoons of lavender blossoms and I used the a food processor to lightly process the powdered sugar and flour. I served with lemon lavender curd (store bought curd mixed with lavender flowers I lightly ground in a spice grinder). Everyone seemed to love it. None to take home!
