By gbvampy1

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup honey
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup plain yogurt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Assorted fresh fruit and additional honey
• Chopped pistachios, optional

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 9-in. cast-iron skillet.
In a large bowl, beat butter and honey until blended. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in yogurt and vanilla. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt; add to butter mixture. Transfer batter to prepared skillet.
Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 30-35 minutes. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Serve with fruit, additional honey and, if desired, chopped pistachios.
Freeze option: Securely wrap cooled cake in plastic and foil; freeze. To use, thaw at room temperature and top as directed.
