Lilac Honey Cake

Use the beautiful, fragrant flowers of spring in this delicious and easy lilac honey cake.

Lilacs are indeed beautiful and they are edible. The lilacs in this cake leave a light floral flavor in the cake itself and make for a gorgeous cake decoration, too!

Only the Blossoms

Use only the blossoms in the cake batter. The leaves will be slightly bitter and the stems, obviously, woody. Just snip the blossoms from the stems over a bowl to make this easy.

For topping the cake, you could just place a couple of stems on top. It’ll be easy and make for a lovely centerpiece but it would need to be removed before slicing.

To make the decoration edible, just sprinkle the snipped blossoms on top of the frosting.

A Simple Cake

This is a very simple butter cake made in one layer for a thick, yet light cake.

One could split it into two layers if desired. Either cut the cooled cake in half or bake into 2 layers (the cooking time will likely be shortened so keep an eye on it).

Cupcakes are also an option. Again, cook for less time and keep an eye on them.

Frosting & Decorating

I went with a very basic vanilla frosting in the photos. Use whatever frosting you most like – chocolate, cream cheese, etc.

Skip the frosting and dust with powdered sugar or serve with some fruit sauce.

Obviously, the snipped lilacs make for a perfect and yet simple decoration.
