Ingredients




200 g of flour
50 g of cornstarch
70 g of almond flour
120 g of milk (also soy or almond milk)
2 eggs
100 g of brown sugar
100 g of soft butter
1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon of ginger powder
1 lemon zest
2 teaspoon of baking powder for cakes
400 g of fresh figs
A pinch of salt

Preparation

1 Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. 2 Remove the skin and cut the fresh figs in half. 3 Combine the flour, cornstarch, almond flour, chocolate chips, ginger powder and, baking powder in a bowl and mix with a fork. 4 Whisk the butter with the brown sugar and a pinch of salt until it becomes soft and fluffy. Lightly beat the eggs and add them gradually to the mixture, stirring gently. 5 Gradually add the flour mixture to your butter mixture alternating with milk. Add the vanilla extract and the lemon zest. Mix until combined. 6 Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly to the edges with a small offset spatula. 7 Arrange a first layer of fresh figs and carefully spread the remaining batter over it to the edge of the pan. 8 Arrange a second layer of figs on top and sprinkle the brown sugar on top. 9 Bake until the top is puffed and browned, 45-50 minutes. Check this by inserting a skewer in the cake: it’s done if it comes out clean. 10 Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool down before taking it out of the pan.
