Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 35 minutes
Total Time 50 minutes
Servings 10 slices

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup fine grind cornmeal
  • 1 cup 2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
  • ¾ cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons plus 1½ teaspoons honey
  • 5 eggs room temperature
  • 1 cup fresh blackberries

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F. Coat an 8-inch round cake pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the flour with the cornmeal until just combined. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter with the sugar, salt, and honey until pale and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, incorporating fully before adding another. (The batter may start to separate for the last few eggs.) Using a rubber spatula, fold the flour mixture into the butter mixture until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and sprinkle the blackberries all over the top of the batter.
  • Bake for 35 minutes or until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • Cool the cake slightly, then remove from the pan, slice, dust with powdered sugar if desired, and serve.
