Ingredients

  • For the cake:
  • 1 cup (100 g) almond flour
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) all-purpose flour or gluten-free 1-to-1 flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/3 cup Greek yogurt, plus more for serving
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 cup honey, plus more for serving
  • 2 large eggs
  • For the topping:
  • 8 fresh figs, quartered
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch fluted tart pan or round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, olive oil, honey, and eggs until smooth.
  4. Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and fold gently until just combined and smooth.
  5. Pour batter into prepared pan and smooth the top.
  6. Arrange fig quarters over the batter and press slightly. Sprinkle with sliced almonds and optional sugar.
  7. Place pan on a baking sheet and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until golden and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Remove from pan, slice, and serve with Greek yogurt and a drizzle of honey, if desired.

Notes

  • Use chopped dried figs if fresh figs are unavailable.
  • Swap in seasonal fruit like pears, apples, or cherries.
  • Toast almond flour for deeper nutty flavor.
  • Use gluten-free 1-to-1 flour to make this cake fully gluten-free.
  • Olive oil adds depth, but can be replaced with a neutral oil.
