vanilla fig cake

Vanilla Fig Cake

September 7, 2012 by gracefulfitness 10 Comments

I’ve had this cake in mind since the first fig of the season started to ripen on the tree.

This was actually my second attempt.  A month or two ago I made a similar batter but tried to do a type of upside-down bourbon fig thing.  I got distracted, the bourbon-butter bottom burned, and I still ate the top.  It was nothing to blog about.

This, on the other hand, turned out perfect.

Prep time: 8 mins
Cook time: 35 mins
Total time: 43 mins
Serves: 6-8
Sugar free, gluten free
Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • pinch of salt
  • vanilla scraped from one bean (or a splash of vanilla extract but I highly recommend the bean)
  • 1/3 cup yogurt
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk
  • 4 eggs
  • 6-8 fresh figs
  • coconut oil for the cake pan
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350*
  2. In a medium mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add vanilla, yogurt, honey, coconut milk, and eggs and whisk until smooth. Pour into an oiled 9 inch cake pan and smooth the top, batter will be very thick. Press figs into batter and bake for 30-35 minutes. Remove from oven as soon as the sides begin to turn golden and the center is set.

I dreamed of serving this with some coconut whipped cream but I had to settle for some strained yogurt mixed with honey and fig bourbon because I used the last of the can for the cake.

Coconut flour cake is the perfect four season dessert to me; light enough for Spring and Summer with a richness that satisfies in the cooler months.
