Рецепт Fig Cornmeal Cake
Fig Cornmeal Cake
Baking this fresh fig cornmeal cake in a cast iron skillet gives it a delicious bottom crust, not to mention the mahogany edges. It is perfect any time of the day.
I have been waxing poetically about my friend Lisa and her wonderful Fig tree. She told me the tree is about 40 years old. I have been picking figs from it for almost a month now. They just keep getting ripe and I keep picking them. I made a few things with the figs and I will give Lisa all the fig preserves she wants. I posted this cornmeal cake on Facebook and so many people fell in love with it.
I was going to make a upside down cake with the figs but realized that I did not have enough cake flour to do that. I did have cornmeal in my cabinet and I immediately thought of cornbread. I like my cornbread on the sweet side. I love cornbread and thought the figs would be a very good addition to my already sweet cornbread recipe. I was right. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as my family enjoyed it.
