Instructions
 

  • Soak figs and dates in warm water for an hour and set aside till they become soft.
  • Deseed the dates and chop figs and dates into small bites.
  • Also chop a mix of nuts, I have used almonds, cashews and pistachios and set aside.
  • Lightly whisk eggs. You don't have to form stiff peaks.
  • Add chopped nuts, figs, dates and honey and mix with the eggs.
  • Stir in Gluten Free flour, you can even use Whole Wheat Flour, All purpose flour if you like.
  • Also add Baking Powder and Salt and mix. Do not over mix just till everything is moist.
  • Line a 9x9 baking tin with some parchment paper that nothing sticks to the bottom of the pan. I have crushed the parchment paper and then opened and placed it, this trick will help it sit better. Also preheat the oven to 180 degree Celsius.
  • Pour the batter in the baking tin and smoothen the top with spatula.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes till the toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Remove it from the tin along with parchment paper. When the cake cools down slice it into squares.
  • Serve with your favourite Cup of Coffee or Tea.

Notes

  • If you are gluten tolerant you can always use whole wheat flour or All purpose flour or a partial mix of both.
