I found the original recipe on the these Lavender Dream cakes in the cooking/cake book "A piece of cake" by Leila Lindholm, here they were made with lavender flower. However, as the theme for afternoon tea was liquorice, I decided to exchange lavender with two types of liquorice powders.
If you addicted to liquorice as I am, you should find the strength of liquorice to be good/high. However, you could also find, that the liquorice flavour has into a burned flavour direction, which my tea guests did. So really consider to only use ½ the dosage of the two liquorice powders.
I will later on try out the original recipe using lavender flower as I am flower power girl. So my good girl friend in Horsens should watch out for these Lavender Dream, as they could give her yet another nightmare involving lavender.

- 100 g butter - soft
- 110 g sugar
