Ingredients

Units Scale

cake

  • 1 cup salted butter, 2 sticks softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup milk (whole or 2%)
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

topping

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tbsp honey + 2 tsp
  • 1 cup each: blueberries, raspberries, strawberries (halved or quartered depending on size)
  • fresh mint, for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Grease a 9-inch baking pan with butter and cut a circle of parchment paper to fit in the bottom of the pan.
  3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Stir to combine and set aside.
  4. Add softened butter and sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer, start on medium speed and increase to medium-high as it comes together and beat for 3-5 minutes, until lightened in color. 
  5. Add the egg and vanilla and beat on medium speed again until combined. 
  6. With the mixer on medium-low, add the milk and dry ingredient mixture by alternating between both in 3 additions (add 1/3 of dry ingredients, then 1/3 milk, etc). Mix until fully combined. Remove the stand mixer bowl and use a rubber spatula to scrape down the edges and stir if necessary. 
  7. Scrape the batter into the cake pan and use the spatula to spread in an even layer. 
  8. Bake 35-45 minutes, until slightly golden around the edges and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. 
  9. Allow cake to cool at least 30 minutes before inverting cake onto a cooling rack. Allow cake to cool fully before topping with whipped cream and berries. 
  10. Wash berries and add to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Drizzle with 2 tsp of honey, stir and set aside. 
  11. Add whipping cream and 1 tbsp honey to the bowl of the stand mixer and beat until stiff peaks form. 
  12. When the cake is cooled, top with whipped cream, then berries and garnish with fresh mint.
