Fig and Nut Cake
Hazelnuts, almonds, orange , dried figs - make this loaf cake so amazing. It's almost like a fancy granola bar. Maintains well in an airtight container for several days and also freezes well.
Ingredients
- 125 grams hazelnuts
- 90 grams almonds
- finely grated peel of 1 orange
- finely grated peel of 1 lemon
- 3 tablespoons candied orange peel
- 125 grams dried organic figs
- 100 grams dark chocolate
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/4 cup self rising flour
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer or with a hand beater beat the eggs with the sugar until very light colored and fluffy.
- Roughly chop the nuts and dried figs and dark chocolate.
- Combine together with the lemon and orange zests and with the chopped candied orange.
- Add the nut mixture to the eggs and gently fold them in with a spatula.
- Add the flour and fold into the egg/nut mixture just until all the flour is absorbed. The dough will be very stiff.
- Place the mixture in a loaf pan lined with parchment paper. Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 40 minutes until golden. Let the cake cool and rest for a few hours before cutting it. The cake will hold well wrapped in aluminum foil and plastic wrap.
