How to prepare Fig and Walnut Plumcake
To prepare the fig and walnut plumcake, first melt the butter in a saucepan. Wash the figs and remove the ends, then coarsely chop them without removing the skin 1. Pour the eggs into a large bowl and beat them with electric whisks while gradually adding the sugar 2 until you obtain a frothy and homogeneous mixture 3.
Sift the flour 4 and baking powder 5 into the bowl, then mix with a spatula and also add the melted butter 6.
Add the figs 7 and walnuts 8 and mix again to combine everything 9.
At this point, butter and flour a loaf pan of 8x4 inches and pour the obtained mixture inside 11. Level the surface with the back of a spoon slightly moistened with water and place the fig slices you have previously cut 12.
Finally, sprinkle with granulated sugar 13 and bake in a preheated static oven at 350°F for about 60 minutes. Once cooked, remove your fig and walnut plumcake from the oven 14 and let it cool slightly before removing it from the mold and serving it sliced 15!
