How to make Chocolate Lavender Cake

Boil lavender flowers in water, simmer for five minutes and allow steeping for five more minutes. Drain the tea filtering out the flowers with the help of a sieve, and let it cool down.

In a bowl, combine oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. Then add the vanilla, oil, soy yogurt, 200g (7oz) of maple syrup, and 250ml (8.7 fl oz) lukewarm lavender tea and whisk until the cake mixture is smooth.

Transfer the batter into a rounded baking tin. Bake in the oven at 180°C (356°F) for 45 minutes and then let the cake cool down over a wire rack.
