Moist Fig - Honey Cake

You have to try this Moist Fig-Honey Yogurt Cake with Pistachio Cream as it’s so gorgeous, light and fluffy that you would absolutely fall in love with its flavors.

Winter is the perfect season to enjoy so many fresh local produce and one of my favorites is figs – I love them in my salad, smoothies, savory dishes but I absolutely adore them in cakes.

And, my favorite flavor combination with figs is honey…they are absolutely made for each other.

Ingredients for Moist Yogurt Fig Honey Cake:

  • Fresh Figs – you may use dry figs too
  • Honey
  • Yogurt
  • Eggs
  • Olive Oil
  • Flour
  • Cream 
  • Pistachio or any other nuts you like.

I recently came across ‘Don Victor® Honey‘ at Walmart in the Hispanic Aisle and it has such a sweet aromatic flavor.

Also, Don Victor® Honey is raw, filtered honey, not heated or processed in any other way hence I bought a couple of jars to use and to give as holiday gifts too.

By the time we got home, I had already decided to make the Honeycomb Fig Cake with Pistachio Cream with it.

The honey that I bought also has a honeycomb which I absolutely love to eat either on it’s own or cheese or on a warm dinner roll with freshly cut figs along with my morning coffee – it makes for a quick but yum breakfast.

Process to make the Moist Cake:

I’m using the honeycomb in the cake batter and also topping it on the cake along with some chopped pistachio for that fresh taste. (Here are some pictures of the cake process)

I served the cake for a holiday evening tea at my place and it was already gone before I could get to it.

Everybody absolutely loved the simple yet delicious flavors.

So, to make them even more happy (remember it’s the season to be happy), I also gifted them with a jar of Don Victor® honey‘.

You can also visit their Facebook or Pinterest page to find more details/recipe inspiration.

 

I really hope you get to try the cake this festive season and enjoy it with your loved ones.

As mentioned we found the Don Victor® honey in the Hispanic Food Aisle of our local Walmart (Picture below)
