Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C) and grease and flour a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a small saucepan, heat milk and lavender until just simmering. Remove from heat and let cool.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture alternately with the lavender-infused milk until just combined; avoid overmixing.

  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool for about 20 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
  9. Meanwhile, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar with milk and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over cooled bread.
