Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a donut pan.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the lemon zest, apple puree, baking powder, salt, and flour until combined. Stir in the milk and lemon juice until the batter is smooth.
Pour batter into prepared donut pan.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes clean.
Cool in pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the Lemon Glaze
To make the glaze, take a medium-sized bowl and whisk together the powdered sugar, and lemon juice until the mixture becomes smooth. After that, dip one side of each lemon cake in the glaze and let it dry on a wire rack.
Finally, decorate the cake with a sprig of lavender or sprinkle some lemon zest on top.
