Serve this sweet, moist honey cake with ripe berries and a sprinkle of crunchy pistachios.

Ingredients

Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 9-in. cast-iron skillet.

When my boys were young, they couldn’t drink milk but they could have yogurt. This was a cake they could eat. And it’s one dessert that doesn’t taste overly sweet, which is always a nice change of pace. —Linda Leuer, Hamel, Minnesota
