FIG AND ALMOND CAKE



Fig and Almond Cake image

Figs are baked into an almond batter for this rustic cake to have with coffee or tea. With figs, ripeness is everything. A ripe fig (the object of your desire) is soft, yielding, beginning to crack, nearly wrinkled. When you cut into it, the flesh is bright and juicy and the taste is ethereal.

FIG AND ALMOND TART



Fig and Almond Tart image

Provided by Julia Reed

Categories     dessert, side dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Softened butter for greasing pan
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/2 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1 1/4 cups, plus 1 tablespoon, unbleached, all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons ground unblanched almonds
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons raw full-flavored honey, like lavender
1 tablespoon superfine flour, like Wondra
1 1/2 pounds fresh figs, halved lengthwise (don't peel)
Confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter sides and bottom of a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom or a springform pan and set aside.
  • For the crust: In a large bowl combine melted butter and sugar and blend with a wooden spoon. Add extracts, salt and flour and stir to form a soft, cookielike dough. Do not let it form into a ball. Transfer the dough to the center of the tart pan. Using your fingers, press the dough evenly onto the bottom and sides. (It will be quite thin.) If using a springform pan, press the dough 1 1/2 inches up the sides. Bake until the dough is slightly puffy and set, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle almonds on the crust.
  • For the filling: In a medium bowl, combine the cream, egg, extracts and honey and whisk to blend. Whisk in the flour. Starting just inside the edge of the tart shell, neatly overlap the figs, cut side up, at a slight angle. Make two or three concentric circles, working toward the center, and fill the center with the remaining figs.
  • Rewhisk the cream mixture and pour evenly over the fruit. Place the tart in the center of the oven with a baking sheet on the rack below to catch any drips. Bake until the filling is firm and the pastry a deep golden brown, about 50 or 60 minutes. Remove and sprinkle with confectioners' sugar just before serving.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate.
  • If you don't have a bundt pan, you can use a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  • To make sure the cake is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before inverting it onto a serving plate.
  • For a special touch, drizzle the cake with chocolate ganache or a simple glaze.

This fig and almond bundt cake is a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
