Fig Cake
After a long time posting a delicious soft fig cake. How many of you love such fruit and nut cake?? I love such cakes especially if there are dry fruits like dates and figs in it. This cake has nice caramelly, cinnamony fig flavor with a spongy soft texture!
Vacation mode is on for many, mine is yet to come! Two more weeks toĀ go!! Eagerly waiting for that moment to be with my dear ones! ComingĀ back to today’s recipe, it is the result of sour figs remained on my countertop, so thought why not to play with it. And here you go a perfect recipe to go with a cup of tea on a rainy evening or as a morning breaking fast or brunch. Here I used half all-purpose flour and half wheat flourĀ for the healthier option. You can change it as per your preference.
As my fig was not that sweet and soft I cooked it first and then added to the cake mix and believe me it’s super yum and a must try a recipe. Hope you all will love it too.
