Around since biblical times, delectable figs roast up a treat and take the cake in baking! Try this delicious Upside Down Fig Cake for tea time today…

Ingredients (Serves 8-10)

  • 1/4 cup (60g) brown sugar, firmly packed
  • 1 tbsp (20g) butter, melted
  • 6 fresh figs, halved
  • 1/2 cup (125g) butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup (180g) caster sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 2/3 cup (180g)  Fig Yoghurt
  • 11/2 cups (185g) self raising flour
  • Extra  Fig Yoghurt, to serve

Method

Prep time: 20 mins, Cooking time: 45-55 mins

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 170˚C and grease and line a 22cm round cake tin.
  2. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the base of the tin and drizzle in the melted butter. Arrange the halved figs, cut side down, over the brown sugar and butter.
  3. In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the softened butter and caster sugar until it is pale and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each one, then mix in the vanilla essence and Fig Yoghurt until well combined. Use a spoon to fold the self raising flour in by hand, until just combined.
  4. Spoon the cake mixture over the figs and smooth it out evenly with the back of a spoon.
  5. Bake in the centre of the oven for 45-55 minutes, or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 20 minutes before turning out onto a serving plate. Serve warm with extra  Fig Yoghurt.
  • Figs are simply fabulous in baked goods.


    • Best served with a generous dollop of double cream.

  • Looks wonderful – however, I can never keep the figs long enough to do this – they get eaten straight off the tree.

  • This sounds rich and delicious- I’ve never cooked with figs before but would be keen to try this- can you just buy ‘Rachel’s’ yogurts from the supermarket?
