Heat to a simmer, then remove from heat, and allow to cool slightly.• In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the egg until the mixture is light and fluffy. Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate bowl; stir into the creamed mixture alternately with the milk and lavender until just blended. Pour into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 50 minutes in the preheated oven, or until a wooden pick inserted into the crown of the loaf comes out clean. Cool in the pan on a wire rack. • Once the cake has cooled, prepare the glaze. Pour the milk into a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, remove the pan from the heat and add the dried lavender buds. Let the mixture steep for 5-8 minutes, then strain the milk. Whisk it into the sugar, a tablespoon at a time, until you achieve a smooth and opaque glaze. Pour or spoon over the cooled loaf. -- source link
