Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup potato starch
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 container whole yogurt (4.4 oz, I used vanilla-flavored)
- 1 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup corn oil
- 1 vanilla extract
- 1 shot glass rum
- 1 packet baking powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 13 figs
Tools
- 1 Stand Mixer stand mixer
- 1 Baking Pan baking pan
- 1 Spatula spatula
Steps
Butter a 9.5 inch cake pan.
Rinse the figs, remove the stem, and cut them in half if small or into 4 parts if larger.
In the stand mixer bowl or with electric beaters, whip the eggs with the sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Once the mixture becomes fluffy, add the oil, yogurt, and liquor while mixing.
Preheat the oven to 338°F.
Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, potato starch, and baking powder and mix them.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the egg mixture, continuing to mix.
Pour half of the batter into the pan, arrange half of the figs on the surface, cover with the remaining batter, and decorate the surface with the remaining figs. Bake for about 55 minutes at 338°F. After the time, check the doneness in the center with a wooden skewer; it should come out dry.
Once the chocolate and fig cake is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool, then take it out of the pan and place it on a tray.
