Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by greasing it or lining it with paper liners.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, and large egg until smooth.
  4. Gently pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir lightly, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Fold in the dried culinary lavender and fresh blueberries into the batter carefully.
  6. Fill each compartment of the muffin tin two-thirds full with the batter.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  8. Allow the cakes to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack and dusting with powdered sugar.
