Sweetened only with honey, this gluten-free and dairy-free cake will be your new summer go-to. Just add your favorite berries for the perfect summer dessert!
This cake is a little crumbly and little sweet. I like it best with coconut whip cream and berries, but it's also great as a side dish for summer barbecues.
Growing up, we had blackberry bushes in our backyard, and I remember every year I would anxiously wait for August so the berries to be ripe enough to pick. It was a dangerous endeavor because of all the thorns, but always worth it. Blackberries are still my favorite summer fruit, and their combination of tart and sweet make them the ideal match for this cornmeal cake.
