Ingredients
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 3/4 cup granulated sugar
– 2 eggs
– 1/4 cup honey, plus more for drizzling
– 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
– 8 ounces fresh figs, halved
Instructions
1. 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch round baking pan with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
2. 2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. 3. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the 1/4 cup honey and rosemary.
4. 4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
5. 5. Arrange the fig halves in the prepared baking pan, cut-side up. Carefully spoon the batter over the figs, smoothing the top.
6. 6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. 7. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully invert onto a serving plate. Drizzle with additional honey, if desired.
Notes
For a more intense honey flavor, use a stronger-flavored honey. You can also try different types of fresh figs, such as black mission or Adriatic.
