Quantities and times are a starting point: adjust them to your taste. Two things don't change: poultry and ground meat must be cooked all the way through, and allergens — always check the labels.

Fresh fig and almond cake

Almond cake with fresh figs arranged underneath and on top.

Rico's note: In summer, when you have too many figs in the fridge, this is the cake to make. They turn almost caramelized underneath — the part everyone fights over.

Ingredients

  • 4–5 fresh figs, sliced (225 g / 8 oz)
  • 2 cups almond flour (192 g / 7 oz)
  • 1 cup gluten-free oat flour (90 g / 3¼ oz)
  • ½ cup sugar (100 g / 3½ oz) — no added sugar: ⅔ cup erythritol (133 g)
  • 1 tbsp baking powder (12 g)
  • 3 eggs (150 g / 5½ oz)
  • ⅓ cup coconut oil (67 g / 2¼ oz)
  • ½ cup plain yogurt (122.5 g / 4½ oz)

In the no-added-sugar version, eating too much erythritol or xylitol can have a laxative effect.

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F) and grease a round pan.
  2. Arrange half the fig slices over the bottom of the greased pan.
