Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Madeira cake
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cups Mixed berries (e.g., strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 3 tablespoons Honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 handful Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium heat.
Slice the Madeira cake into 1-inch thick slices.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, then brush both sides of each cake slice with the melted butter.
Place the cake slices on the preheated grill and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until grill marks form and the edges are slightly caramelized. Remove from the grill and set aside.
While the cake is grilling, prepare the mixed berries. Wash and pat them dry. If using strawberries, hull and slice them into halves or quarters.
To serve, arrange a grilled Madeira cake slice on a plate. Top with a generous portion of mixed berries and drizzle with honey. Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
