Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs lightly and then whisk in the milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and melted butter until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and gently smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cake cools, prepare the berry glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the mixed berries and honey. Stir occasionally until the berries start to break down (about 5 minutes).
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to make a slurry. Add the slurry to the berry mixture and cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.
To make the whipped cream, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a chilled bowl until soft peaks form.
Once the cake is fully cooled, cut it horizontally into two even layers using a serrated knife.
Place the bottom layer of the cake on a serving plate and spread an even layer of whipped cream over it.
Add a dollop of the berry glaze on top of the whipped cream, and then carefully place the second layer of cake on top.
Spread another layer of whipped cream over the top of the cake and swirl on some of the remaining berry glaze.
Garnish with fresh mint leaves, if desired, and serve this delightful cake tinged with love and flavor!
