Method

Steps

  1. Step 1

    Wash the fruit first; quantities refer to prepared edible weights. Use fresh figs; remove their stems and cut into 5 mm dice. Remove the peach stone and cut the flesh into 5 mm dice.

  2. Step 2

    Set the oven to 175°C, conventional. Line round mini-muffin 40 ml metal moulds with parchment cases on two trays.

  3. Step 3

    Cream 60 g butter (softened) with 60 g caster sugar for 2-3 minutes. Gradually beat in 180 g beaten egg, weighed without shell. Mix in 2 tbsp honey, 1.5 tsp vanilla. Use vanilla extract.

  4. Step 4

    Fold in 80 g figs, 80 g peach.

  5. Step 5

    Combine 140 g all purpose flour. Fold into the fruit mixture until no dry flour remains.

  6. Step 6

    Fill the wells two-thirds full. Bake 20-28 minutes, swapping the two trays after 15 minutes. Bake until set throughout, with no raw batter on a skewer; the centre must also reach at least 74°C. Cover with foil if the surface darkens first.

  7. Step 7

    Cool 10 minutes in the moulds and 10 on a rack. Divide the batch into 8 servings of small cakes. If extra batches are needed, refrigerate waiting batter and add their baking time.
