Tips + Tricks: Garnish each piece of cake with a spoonful of roasted seasonal fruit, or a drizzle of melted marmalade.

For the honey roasted fruit:

  1. Preheat oven to 400° F. Place butter in a shallow baking dish; melt in preheating oven, about 3 minutes.
  2. Add honey and orange juice to baking dish; stir until combined.
  3. Arrange fruit, cut side down, in baking dish.
  4. Bake until tender and juicy, 25 to 30 minutes. Turn fruit over during last 10 minutes of baking, spooning juices over fruit. If needed, add 1 to 2 tablespoons water to baking dish to prevent scorching.
  5. Cut cake into squares and split horizontally. Top with fruit, then cake and more fruit on top.
