Ingredients:

  • 1.5 cups (190g) all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup (50g) almond flour
  • 1 tsp (5g) baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp (3g) salt
  • 0.5 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 0.5 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 0.25 cup (80g) honey
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup (120ml) Greek yogurt
  • 10 fresh figs, stemmed and quartered
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) melted butter
  • 1 tbsp (12g) turbinado sugar
  • 2 tbsp (30g) honey
  • 1 tbsp (15g) melted butter
  • 2 tbsp (15g) sliced almonds, toasted

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and honey until pale and fluffy (about 3 minutes). Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each, then stir in the vanilla.
  4. Alternately add the dry ingredients and the Greek yogurt to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the flour. Mix on low speed until just combined.
  5. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan using a spatula.
  6. Arrange the quartered fresh figs on top of the batter, pressing them in slightly.
  7. Brush the figs with 1 tablespoon of melted butter and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  8. Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. While the cake is warm, whisk together honey and melted butter for the glaze. Brush over the cake and garnish with toasted sliced almonds.
