Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup honey
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup whole milk
1 cup mixed fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, or sliced strawberries)
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon whole milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and line a 9×13-inch sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, beat butter, honey, and sugar until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes). Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients in three parts, alternating with milk, starting and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the mixed berries.
- Pour the batter into the prepared sheet pan and smooth into an even layer. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool the cake in the pan for 15 minutes before removing it from the pan.
- For the glaze, heat honey, butter, milk, and vanilla extract over low heat in a small saucepan, stirring until the butter melts. Simmer for 2 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Pour the glaze over the cooled cake, letting it drizzle down the sides and soak into the cake.
- Slice into squares and serve! The cake is delicious on its own or with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
Notes
Substitute mixed berries with peaches, nectarines, or tropical fruits like mango and pineapple.
Add lemon zest or juice to the batter for a citrusy touch.
Top with fresh mint leaves for color and a burst of freshness.
For a richer finish, use cream cheese frosting instead of the honey glaze.
