Festive Italian Christmas cake - quick and easy dessert.
Ingredients:
  • 100g blanched almonds, toasted
  • 125g hazelnuts, toasted
  • 150g dessert figs, roughly chopped
  • 4 x 55g Cherry Ripe bars, chopped
  • 187.50 ml plain flour
  • 20.00 gm cocoa powder
  • 150g dark chocolate, chopped
  • 235.95 gm honey
  • 70.95 gm caster sugar
  • icing sugar, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 180C and prepare a 20cm round cake pan by greasing and lining it.
  • In a large bowl, add nuts, figs, Cherry Ripe, flour, cocoa, and half of the chocolate. Mix everything together until well combined.
  • Combine honey, sugar, and the rest of the chocolate in a saucepan over low heat. Stir constantly for 5 minutes or until the sugar dissolves and the chocolate melts. Allow it to come to a boil without stirring, then lower the heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
  • Create a hole in the middle of the flour mixture. Add the syrup and mix until fully combined. Transfer the batter into a cake pan. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until a skewer comes out clean when inserted into the center. Let it cool in the pan before serving.
