Must make enough for 24 people
There is no refrigerator or kitchen on site, so I need to bring it with me, all made and can not be icre cream,etc.
All 3 ingredients must be used
This month's ingredients are:

Lavender

Great Minds! I have that recipe bookmarked. I was wondering if I could make a chocolate sour cream pound cake?

you could but does that meet the requirement? you'd probably use cocoa powder for that.
Is there anything you can do in a chocolate cup?
or maybe do a chocolate curl or shavings? the less chocolate the better if you ask me!

How about a lavender infused angel food cake with roasted peach filling, topped with a dark chocolate ganache...
