Light and Refreshing Summer Dessert Recipe<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Lavender: I love the color. The scent. And even the taste — combined with sweet flavors like honey or vanilla and mixed into lattes, ice cream, shortbread … why not cupcakes?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a summer dessert that’s not too heavy or rich and just perfect when the temperatures start to soar, bake these lemonade cupcakes, made a little more complex with the addition of culinary dried lavender. Frost with the honey cream cheese frosting from my healthier fruit pizza<\/a> — again, with a drop of lavender flavoring for a sweetly floral taste. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pairing of the citrus with the lavender is just right: the tart lemon offsets the floral flavor so that the lavender isn’t overpowering, just interesting. Top your cupcakes with a lemon slice candy and a sprinkle of lavender buds for the prettiest summer treats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These purple confections would be perfect for a tea party, bridal shower, baby shower, or other girly event — but for the record, it was #DoneWithFun Daddy who requested something lavender-citrus this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You know I love my shortcuts, so this recipe starts with a French vanilla cake mix and adds a can of lemonade concentrate for that extra citrus tang. This isn’t a fluffy cupcake — the batter uses sour cream and cream cheese for a richer, denser cake that pairs particularly well with the fluffy cream cheese frosting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
