MEDITERRANEAN FLAIR AT HOME!
This summer our vacation was spent in Croatia. Blue skies, going for a swim in the ocean, relaxing all day and eating good food was what we were doing all day. Upon arrival the first thing I saw was a beautiful figtree that was growing directly over our table on the terace and I was as happy as can be! So everyday for breakfast there were fresh figs in our muesli and also other meals where spiced up by this delicious fruit.
Now a few weeks later back at home figs still remind me of those sunny holidays and simply make me happy. So I decided to write a recipe around figs with their beautiful color and shape. They are not only extremly pretty but also very easy to combine when baked or fresh as decoration. In this recipe I use two different kinds of nuts to complement the figs. The grated almond in the doughbase makes for great texture and a slightly nutty taste whereas the walnut on top is deliciously crunchy and goes perfectly with the fruity taste of the fig. To make it a little frutier alltogether I decided to add some orange zest to the dough. For me this cake gives me a mediterranean feeling with every bite no matter where I am at the moment.
