Cooking instruction summary:

  1. You will need a 9" springform pan, or a cake pan with at least 2" high sides, sprayed with baking spray or buttered and sprinkled with the 2T of sugar.
  2. Preheat oven to 350 F
  3. Zest one orange and add the zest to your mixing bowl.
  4. Cut the peel off both oranges, removing all pith, and slice into 1/4" rounds.
  5. Cut the figs in half.
  6. Combine the softened butter, orange zest, and sugar. Beat until fluffy.
  7. Add the eggs, heavy cream and vanilla extract. Beat well.
  8. Sift the remaining dry ingredients into the batter and gently incorporate.
  9. Layer the figs and orange slices into the pan and spoon the batter on top.
  10. Gently spread the batter evenly over the whole and tap the pan to release air bubbles and ensure that the batter gets down into all the crevices between the fruit slices on the bottom.
  11. Bake at 350 F for approximately forty-five minutes, or until tester comes out clean. Let cool slightly before inverting the cake onto a rack to cool completely.
  12. While the cake is cooling make your caramel sauce.

  16. Brush the glaze over the cake while the caramel is still warm.
  17. You will have leftover caramel sauce. Store in an airtight container in the fridge. Warm in the microwave for 15-30 seconds before use. You can drizzle some sauce on the plate before serving a slice of cake.

Food Trivia

The Arabs invented caramel.

Food Joke

Four surgeons were taking a coffee break and were discussing their work. The first said, "I think accountants are the easiest to operate on. You open them up and everything inside is numbered." The second said, "I think librarians are the easiest to operate on. You open them up and everything inside is in alphabetical order." The third said, "I like to operate on electricians. You open them up and everything inside is color-coded." The fourth one said, "I like to operate on lawyers. They're heartless spineless, gutless, and their heads and their ass are interchangeable."
