Fig, Plum and Almond Cake (vegan & flourless)

September 30, 2019 / Niki / 5 Comments

Is it a tart or a cake – I’m opting for cake (I think). Anyway it has a lovely rich almondy base, a layer of sticky figs and then topped with fresh figs & plums. So delicious!

I love using these beautiful seasonal fruits and I think it pairs really well with almond – but then I love almond desserts so maybe I’m a bit biased?

As an added bonus it’s completely flourless and therefore gluten-free.

I love to serve it with some creamy coconut yogurt or vegan vanilla ice cream and its perfect for breakfast as well as a dessert.

I hope you enjoy xxx

I'd love to know if you made this recipe.

Hi,I am wondering if the formatting of the step by step is off. It reads as if the olive oil mixture, the dry ingredients and the almond butter.- almond milk go together. This will not result in something that needs pressing, but rather pouring, I assume that the almond butter-almond mild wet ingredients are supposed to go with the figs to form a paste? Is this correct?

Hi! Would you please relabel this recipe as vegetarian as it uses figs, which are not strictly vegan? Thanks!
