This is one of my favorite vegan desserts. The cashew cream tastes great on its own as well, but throw in some fresh figs and it's to die for.

FIG AND ALMOND CAKE



Fig and Almond Cake image

Figs are baked into an almond batter for this rustic cake to have with coffee or tea. With figs, ripeness is everything. A ripe fig (the object of your desire) is soft, yielding, beginning to crack, nearly wrinkled. When you cut into it, the flesh is bright and juicy and the taste is ethereal.
