Delicious for summer

Make a batter from the ingredients for the dough and bake in the oven at 180°C for about 1 hour. Do not use fan-assisted cooking, or the cake will be too dry. Once cooled, cut the cake in half and use one half as a cake base. The other half can be used for something else; it can easily be frozen until the next time you need it. Cover the cake base with a cake ring. Place 200g of whipping cream, 4-5 lavender flower heads, and the sprigs with leaves in a small saucepan, bring to a boil, and simmer gently for 5-10 minutes. Then pour the cream through a sieve and let cool. Drain the peaches, reserving the juice. In a high bowl, beat the two packets of aranca with half of the juice and water (see package instructions) with a hand mixer on high speed until creamy, then stir in the lavender cream. Whip 500g of cream with the gelatin fix until stiff, then fold the aranca cream into the cream. Spread the cream on the cake base. Place the peach slices on top and press them lightly into the cream. Refrigerate the cake for at least 12 hours to set. Make a glaze with the remaining juice and, if desired, water (see package instructions) and the cake glaze powder and let it cool slightly. Mix in the picked lavender blossoms and spread the glaze over the peach slices. Once the glaze has set, whip 200g of cream until stiff and pipe generous tufts of cream onto the cake using a cake syringe or a piping bag with a star nozzle. Decorate the tufts with lavender blossoms and lavender leaves.
