It's the tail end of fig season and the last of the luscious late-summer figs are everywhere - which can only mean fig cake time. These five favourites celebrate that honeyed, gorgeous fruit in a variety of textures and styles, from homely loaves to show‑stopping cakes, and they're all delicious.
1 - Fig & Almond Yogurt Cake
Heads up gluten free eaters! This is a gorgeous gluten free fig and almond cake. It's also a healthier cake as the icing is a beautifully light yogurt and honey icing for when you aren't in the mood for sweet butter frosting!
2 - Fig Love Cake
I developed this cake as a recipe for Valentines Day. It's a flourless orange and hazelnut cake with gorgonzola dolce frosting, dripping honey and fresh figs but don't wait for a special occasion to make this- just make it for someone you love or for y!
3 - Fig Pavlova
Who doesn't love a pavlova? This beauty of a cake is topped with fresh figs and a salted caramel and browned butter butterscotch sauce!
4 - Fig & Pomegranate Cheesecake
Got lots of figs? Well do I have a beauty for you. It's actually a no bake cheesecake but surrounded by beautiful cut figs! While it looks complicated it really isn't I promise.
5 - Fig Pistachio Souffle Cake
Have you ever tried making a soufflé cheesecake? They're so wobbly and delicious. This cinnamon scented soufflé cheesecake is light as a feather and paired with figs, honey and pistachios!
So tell me Dear Reader, which cake do you like the sound of the best? Do you like figs?
