A Note from Feedfeed
This buttery cake is beautifully subtle with notes of vanilla and packed with fresh blackberries. We took it one step further and added a whipped honey ricotta, an extra drizzle of honey, and crowned it with more blackberries for some drama, but trust us, the cake recipe by itself is perfectly delicious as is. Serve at your next weekend brunch, with an afternoon cup of tea or coffee, or for an elegant dessert.
