blueberry lavender coffee cake

Cake
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar (I used 1/3 cup honey)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/3 cup applesauce
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon flaxmeal
  • 3/4 cup milk
Topping
  • 2/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 2 tablespoons butter ( I used 1 T. applesauce and 1 T. Butter
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Blueberry Lavender Mixture
  • 2 cups blueberries (frozen ones work too)
  • 1 teaspoon lavender
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Into a medium bowl mix together flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix together in a separate bowl egg, lemon zest, applesauce and milk; stir just until dry ingredients are moistened add honey during this point as well. Spoon the batter into a generously buttered 9-inch square pan.

Mix the ingredients of blueberry mixture and spoon over the batter. Mix topping ingredients with fork until crumbly and sprinkle evenly over batter. Bake at 400° for 25 to 30 minutes, until done. It tastes best right out of the oven.

It is delicious with a cup of coffee or english breakfast tea.
