Description
A recipe for almond fig cake.
- 180g butter
- 150g sugar
- 3 eggs
- 45ml milk
- 120g almond meal
- 120g flour
- 1.5 tsp baking powder
- 7 figs
- Preheat oven to 180°C. Meanwhile, line a baking dish with 1 teaspoon of butter. Microwave the rest of the butter in a large bowl on high for 20 seconds to melt it, then add sugar and mix until well combined.
- Slowly add the eggs to the butter and sugar mixture while continuing to stir, then continue to mix while adding the milk, then the almond meal, until well combined.
- Sift flour and baking powder in to the mixture and stir until well combined, then pour the mixture into a baking dish.
- First cut the stem off the figs, then cut each fig into 6 pieces. Slice between the fruit and peel, trying to retain as much flesh as possible. Discard the peel, then arrange the fig flesh on top of the cake.
- Bake for 50 minutes and then let the cake sit for 10 minutes, then serve, or refrigerate and serve later.
