Method
Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the flour, almond flour, baking powder, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Gently fold in the chopped figs.
Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the butter, sugar, eggs, and Al Naturale almond milk until smooth and creamy.
Mix It All Together: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring until well combined.
Bake: Pour the batter into a cake pan lined with parchment paper. Bake at 180°C for 45 minutes.
Pro tip: After 20 minutes, cover the cake with aluminum foil to prevent the top from burning.
Cool and Prepare the Cream: Let the cake cool completely before decorating. Melt the white chocolate and mix it into the mascarpone until smooth.
Decorate: Spread the mascarpone cream generously over the cooled cake. Decorate with fresh figs, blackberries, blueberries, pistachios, and a sprinkle of shaved white chocolate.
Serve and Enjoy: Slice a piece, pour a hot cup of tea or coffee, and indulge in the ultimate winter dessert.
