Mini Blueberry and Lavender Cake

Feb 9, 2016 · 16 Comments

Treat your sweetheart (or yourself!) to this elegant and easy Mini Blueberry and Lavender Cake – perfect for Valentine’s Day!

Living the Gourmet: Mini Blueberry and Lavender Cake

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I was inspired to bake something romantic, but I think the best part about this cake is it’s size. Mini cakes are my latest, greatest discovery (thank you Pinterest)!

Now with the Lenten season upon us, it’s perfect for keeping my sweet-tooth in check while still satisfying in something slightly indulgent. You see, it’s difficult giving up sweets when you are a food blogger, and everyone and their uncle (literally) has a birthday between now and March.

But let’s get back to this cake, and oh what a heavenly cake it is.

Dense, sweet and full of depth, I surprised myself with it.

It’s rich for its size, but sure to delight. The sweet, floral notes of lavender are perfectly accented with the bits of blueberry and honey.

So fall in love with this mini cake and share it with someone you love 🙂

    Mini cakes are they best, aren't they? I mean who doesn't want to devour an entire cake all by themselves? And this one is a real cutie. I especially adore the lavender, honey, and blueberry flavor combination. It's perfect for this time of year.

    What a pretty mini! I don't do a lot of baking, but this looks easy enough even for a beginner. My family would be so surprised if I actually baked for Valentine's Day!

    Tammy, I really like the idea of mini-cakes! Their size would keep us from hogging out and yet we can have a sweet treat. Love blueberries, honey and lavender together too... Take Care, Big Daddy Dave

    With the boys out of the house, a mini dessert is much more practical! And yours looks spectacular, Tammy! I was thinking of giving up sweets for Lent---wonder how that will work for a baking blogger??? Maybe I need to reconsider :)

    Hi! This looked lovely..mine did not set..perhaps because my blueberries were frozen? Or should there be an egg? Thank you!
