ALMOND, BLACK PEPPER AND FIG CAKE WITH TAMARIND GLAZE



Almond, Black Pepper and Fig Cake With Tamarind Glaze image

This cake celebrates the sweet, jamlike texture of juicy ripe figs against the backdrop of a fragrant almond cake, with a sweet-and-sour tamarind glaze as contrast. As the cake bakes, the fresh figs release their juices, which begin to caramelize and take on the flavor of black pepper. Tellicherry black peppercorns and long pepper, if available, are wonderful options to explore for their unique aromas. Frozen fresh figs will also work in this cake. Just remember to thaw them to room temperature and drain off any excess liquid before using. And, make sure to use tamarind paste, not concentrate. Thick, syrupy concentrates lack the fruity flavor of tamarind and carry a noticeable artificial aftertaste.

Time 1h30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup/115 grams unsalted butter (1 stick), melted, plus more for greasing the baking dish
12 to 14 fresh ripe figs
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups/300 grams granulated sugar, plus 2 tablespoons
2 cups/225 grams blanched almond flour
1 cup/130 grams all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 large eggs, chilled
1 cup/240 milliliters full-fat plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 cup/125 grams confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons tamarind paste (not concentrate)
1 teaspoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with a little butter.
  • Trim and discard the stalks from the figs. Slice the figs in half lengthwise, and place them in a small bowl. Sprinkle the pepper and 2 tablespoons sugar over the figs, and toss to coat well.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Sift twice through a fine mesh sieve to remove any clumps and return to the large bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk melted butter, 1 1/2 cups sugar, eggs and yogurt until smooth and combined. (It will be very thick.) Whisk in the almond extract.
  • Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients, and pour in the whisked liquid ingredients. Using an outward-to-inward circular motion, fold with a spatula until the mixtures are completely combined, and no visible flecks of dry ingredients remain. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with an offset spatula. Top the cake with the sliced figs with the cut sides facing up.
  • Bake cake until the surface is golden brown and the figs release their juices and turn slightly caramelized, about 1 hour, rotating halfway through baking. If it's browning too quickly, loosely tent the cake with foil. The cake is done when a skewer inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove the baked cake and let cool for 15 minutes.
  • As the cake cools, prepare the tamarind glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk the confectioners' sugar, tamarind paste and oil until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, it can be thinned by adding a teaspoon or two of water.
  • Once the cake has cooled for 15 minutes, pour the glaze over, and serve warm or at room temperature. Refrigerate any leftovers and eat within 3 days.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality almonds: Look for almonds that are plump and free of blemishes. Avoid any that are shriveled or discolored.
  • Toast the almonds before using: Toasting the almonds will enhance their flavor and make them more crunchy. You can toast them in a pan over medium heat or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes.
  • Use a food processor to grind the almonds: This will give you a fine meal that will help the rings hold together. You can also use a blender, but be careful not to over-process the almonds, or they will turn into butter.
  • Add some black pepper to the almond meal: The black pepper will add a subtle spiciness to the rings. You can adjust the amount of black pepper to taste.
  • Use a combination of almond flour and breadcrumbs: This will help the rings hold their shape and give them a crispy texture.
  • Chill the rings before cooking: This will help them hold their shape even better. You can chill them for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Cook the rings in a hot oven: This will help them get crispy on the outside and cooked through on the inside. Bake them at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Conclusion:

Almond and black pepper rings are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be enjoyed as a healthy snack on the go. With their unique flavor and crunchy texture, these rings are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
