MAGIC PURPLE CAKE WITH LAVENDER AND LEMON

I made this Magic Purple Cake part of a surprise Mother’s Day party for my mom and mother in law. Cake and wine, what else can we ladies wish for? The best way to spend a fun and relaxing evening. I served the cake with some amazing JaM Cellars Butter Chardonnay, I mean this wine is called “butter” I already like it 100 times more! Since in my family we are obsessed with baking and its something that me, my mom, grandma and mother in law enjoy a lot, the wine selection was perfect. Here are some interesting facts about the wine:

• JaM Cellars makes three easy-to-love, everyday California wines Butter Chardonnay, JaM Cabernet and Toast Sparkling, a great everyday wine, and best Chardonnay under $20.
• Second-generation Napa Valley vintners John and Michele are the “J” and the “M” in JaM Cellars. They made these wines in a style they love to enjoy with their friends any day of the week.
• Butter Chardonnay is rich, bold and luscious. The Chardonnay is cold fermented to a lush creaminess and aged in a unique blend of oak. Butter brims with stone fruit and baked-lemon notes and has a lovely, long, vanilla finish. Simply put, it melts in your mouth just like a delicious buttery dessert!
