Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter an 8″ round cake path using unsalted butter or line bottom with parchment paper

In a food processor or using a mortar and pestle, mix/grind together the granulated sugar and the dried lavender so the lavender is broken down and blended into the sugar.

Sift (optional) or mix well the remaining dry ingredients: flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
Stir in the lavender-sugar blend.
Step 4
Fold in the cranberries and nuts to the mixture.

In a separate bowl (ideally one with a pour spout), add the eggs and mix in the yogurt and oil until smooth.
Step 6
Gradually pour the wet ingredients in with the dry ingredients stirring until well blended.
Add the lemon zest and the lemon juice and mix in lightly.
