# Fig and walnut cake

**Ingredients for 6:**



110 gr self-raising flour



450 g walnut meal



200 g figs



100 g sugar



1 tablespoon of honey



100 g butter + a knob to grease the cake tin



3 eggs



A pinch of salt



Walnut kernels to decorate



Icing sugar to decorate




Sieve the flour and meal together. Wash the figs and cut them into small pieces.



Melt the butter in a bain-marie or microwave for a few seconds.



Pour the butter into a large bowl, add the sugar, the honey and blend with an electric hand mixer. Then add the eggs one at a time while carrying on whisking. When the eggs are well blended and frothy, add the flour, a pinch of salt and continue to whisk.



Add the figs, mixing gently with a spatula from top to bottom.



Pour the mixture into a greased cake tin and bake in an oven pre-heated to 180° for about 40 minutes.



Once the cake is ready, leave it to cool before removing it from the tin. Decorate with a dusting of icing sugar and some walnut kernels.
