Luscious Lavender Cupcake Recipe - Serendipity And Spice (2024)

These luscious lavender cupcakes are the perfect little mommy treat once the kids have gone to sleep. The lavender cupcake recipe is my great grandmother’s secret recipe to unwind and relax after a crazy day!

Keep Calm and Grab a Relaxing Cupcake…seriously!

So, if you’ve been following along on social media then you know that I’ve been busy planning this year’s Blog Life University Conference that’s happening in just 2 weeks!! Eekkkkk!!! I can’t believe how beautifully everything is coming together…it’s a TON of work….a TON of stress….a few freakouts….but it’s going to be one amazing experience.

That’s why I whipped up a batch of my great grandmother’s lavender cupcake recipe. These cupcakes are just what I needed to relax after a long day of planning, organizing, emailing, fielding questions, and talking with speakers. I love that these cupcakes are slightly sweet with a hint of calming lavender…its like getting a sweet treat at a luxurious spa!
