Ingredients
- 1.5 cup Buttermilk
- 2 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cup Mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger
- 1 cup Water
- 0.5 cup Honey
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is baking, prepare the ginger syrup. In a small saucepan, combine the ginger, water, and honey. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cake has cooled, use a toothpick to poke holes all over the top. Pour the ginger syrup over the cake, allowing it to soak in.
- In a separate bowl, toss the mixed berries with a little bit of sugar. Arrange the berries on top of the cake.
- Serve the buttermilk cake with berries in ginger syrup and enjoy!
