Butter the baking dish and set it aside.

In a mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of softened butter and 1 cup of sugar using a mixer until well combined.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated after each addition.

Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract while mixing.

In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt until combined.

Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture while the mixer is running to avoid clumping.

Pour the thick batter into the buttered baking dish, spreading it to the corners.

Add approximately 3 cups of fresh berries on top of the batter, scattering them evenly.

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 45 minutes.

Perform the toothpick test to check if it's done; it should come out clean.

While the buckle is baking, prepare whipped cream by whipping heavy cream and honey together until desired consistency is reached.

After 45 minutes, check that the edges are golden and the berries have melted into the buckle.

Let it cool slightly before serving, optionally dusting with powdered sugar.
