Fresh Fig and Walnut Cake

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
This cake captures the essence of early autumn. The honeyed sweetness of figs and the earthy, oily character of walnuts complement each other perfectly. As the figs caramelize during baking, the batter around them becomes extra creamy, while the nuts add crunch.
