Place the lavender buds into the food processor and pulse 5 times. Add sugar and process for 1 minute. Pour into airtight container and set aside.

After removing all of the lavender sugar mixture, place chocolate in the food processor. Process chocolate until it resembles coarse sand. Set aside.

Line 8X8 baking pan with parchment paper and preheat oven to 325F. In one bowl, whisk together cocoa powder and 1 and ¼ cup sugar. Set aside.

Melt butter in a medium size saucepan. Once butter has fully melted, reduce heat to low. Stir in the cocoa powder and sugar mixture. Stir quickly to ensure the mixture is well combined. Continue to stir over low heat until the mixture becomes slick like water across the pan. Pour into the same bowl used to mix the cocoa and sugar. Cool for 10 minutes.

Beat eggs and yolk for 2-3 minutes with mixer. Beating on low, slowly add in the cooled butter, cocoa, sugar mixture to the eggs. Add vanilla extract. Beat an additional minute.

Add sifted flour and salt to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined, with a few streaks of flour visible. Fold in the grated chocolate.

Scoop batter into the prepared pan.  Smooth batter evenly across the pan.
