Base

Method

Base Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, vanilla extract, and melted butter until smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

    Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish (9x13 inches) with butter or cooking spray.

  2. 5

    Bake the Base

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  3. 6

    Cool the Base

    Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Topping Preparation

  1. 7

    Prepare Berries

    Rinse the fresh berries under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. If using strawberries, hull and slice them.

  2. 8

    Drizzle Honey

    In a small bowl, mix the berries with honey until they are well coated.

  3. 9

    Garnish

    Top the cooled base with the honey-coated berries and garnish with fresh mint leaves.
