Whether you choose to serve it for breakfast alongside a banana or additional sliced strawberries, or for dessert alongside fresh whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream, I guarantee that you'll fall absolutely in love with this sweet cornbread after the very first bite.

Last month, was definitely a month for amazing recipes here at Faith, Hope, Love, & Luck. There were these Chocolate Covered Sunflower Seed Krispies Bars, which have now totally made me rethink my opinion on chocolate covered sunflower seeds, as well as these Strawberry Dark Chocolate Shortbread Biscuits, which will now be the reason why I always have dried berries in my pantry at all times.

There were also several savory dishes as well, like this Creamy Cheeseburger & Veggie Hot Dish and these Oven-Baked Mardi Gras Muffuletta Empanadas. And who could forget Colleen’s One-Pot Italian Orzo Wedding Soup? Any of these three recipes are ones that would be more than welcome at my dinner table again.

However, there was one recipe that I made that I just knew was my favorite instantly. In fact, it might just end up being my favorite recipe of the year. It’s that good. This Sweet Strawberry Honey Cornbread Cake stole my heart away at the very first bite. You can bet that I’m going to be making it again and again and serving to almost anyone I can find to take a bite.
