Fig and Almond Coffee Cake
 
 
Ingredients
  • 10-12 Ripe Brown Turkish Figs
  • 1 cup Raw Almonds, grinded to a powder (or use ¾ cup premade Almond Flour)
  • 5 tbsp Butter, melted
  • 2 Eggs, beaten
  • ½ cup Whole Milk Ricotta
  • 1 tbsp Honey
  • ¼ cup Sugar, plus a little for sprinkling top of cake
  • ¼ cup All-Purpose Flour
  • ½ tsp Baking Powder
  • ½ tsp Cinnamon
  • ½ tsp Vanilla Extract
  • Dash of Salt
  • Powdered Sugar for topping (optional)
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In the meantime, grind the almonds in a food processor or blender and then set aside. Butter a pie dish or shallow baking pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, assemble the dry ingredients and mix well: powdered Almonds, Sugar, Flour, Baking Powder, Cinnamon and Salt.
  3. Once dry ingredients are well combined, set aside and start on your wet ingredients.
  4. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the Eggs, Ricotta, Butter, Honey and Vanilla Extract.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix together until a batter forms, about 2 minutes. Pour batter into buttered pie dish.
  6. Slice the Figs into rounds and place directly on top of batter. Cover the entire dish in Figs and then sprinkle with a generous amount of sugar, about 3 tbsp. Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
  7. Cool for 10 minutes and then sprinkle Powdered Sugar around the entire cake. Serve warm.
