Fig

Fig is believed to be one of the first cultivated plants in human history. Today, figs are grown in countries of temperate climates around the world. Because figs are fragile and juicy, they are difficult to transport around and it is often preferred to use them dried or canned. If you can get raw figs, they can be used to enrich salads, various desserts and they can be used to make a cake.

Preparation time: 1 hour
Level: average
Quantity: one cake, 12-16 slices

Ingredients:
Base:
170 g butter
200 g of flour
100 g of sugar
4 egg yolks

Filling:
400 ml whipped cream
6 eggs
150 g of sugar
2 heaping teaspoons vanilla sugar
6-7 ripe fresh figs cut in half lengthwise
2-3 tablespoons brown sugar to shake the cake

Preparation:
1. Prepare the dough. For that, chop a butter with a knife or using an electric shredder with flour to dry crumbs, add egg yolks and sugar and knead to the dough
2. Shake the flour on the working surface and roll the dough into a slightly larger disc than the baking tin. Fold the dough disc in half, so it’s easy to handle. Spread the dough into a pie tin and line
3. Line the dough with baking paper and pour over the dried peas to help keep the dough in shape during baking.
4. Bake the cake base for about 20 minutes until it is brown and crispy
5. Make a cake filling while baking a base. Mix the whipped cream and eggs, vanilla sugar, and mix well
7. Pour the filling onto the baked cake base. Cut the figs lengthwise in half and put them inside the filling so that the upper edges are outside the filling. Shake the brown sugar on the surface of the cake. Bake at 180 degrees for about 30 minutes until the cake starts to brown slightly.
8. Allow cooling overnight before serving.
