Lemon Lavender Loaf Cake

1. Preheat oven to 325º F.
2. Prep a 1 lb loaf pan by coating it with cooking spray and lining it with parchment that slightly overhangs on each side.
3. Use a food processor to finely ground the dried culinary lavender.
4. In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine the butter, sugar, lemon zest, and ground culinary lavender for 2-3 minutes on medium speed until light and fluffy.
5. Add eggs, one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl with your spatula as needed.
6. Add in the lemon juice and sour cream and mix until combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
7. In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
8. With the mixer on low, add in the flour mixture and mix just until combined.
9. Bake the loaf for 50-55 minutes until a toothpick or knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Cool for 30 minutes on a cooling rack before gently running a knife along the edges and carefully using the overhanging parchment to lift the cake out of the pan.
