Cooking instruction summary:

Start by heating your oven up to 350F.I used 3 small 4" pans because I was sending out 3 small testers to 3 different people but you can use a 8" spring pan as well :).With coconut oil, grease the pan and put parchment paper at the bottom.In a small saucepan, heat up honey and water until honey has dissolved in the water. Then add half of the two zests and 2 tbsp of grapefruit juice and 2tbsp of orange juice (with pulps!). Mix well, turn off heat and set aside.In a big bowl, mix maple sugar, yogurt, rest of zests, juices, olive oil and eggs until well combined.In another bowl, mix flours, starches, baking powder, spices and salt. Once well combined, make a well in the middle and slowly whisk the yogurt mixture in (keeping the honey mix for later!) until you have a uniform batter.Pour batter in your spring pan and sprinkle with shaved/sliced nuts.Bake until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean or with crumbs on it, about 40-50 minutes.Using a toothpick, pokes a bunch of holes on your cake and slowly drizzle your honey syrup on the cake.

The fig is also a fertility symbol and the Arab association with male genitals is so strong that the original word 'fig' is considered improper.

Food Joke

The Passover test [My thanks to Jeff G for the following] Sean is waiting for a bus when another man joins him at the bus stop. After 20 minutes of waiting, Sean takes out a sandwich from his lunch box and starts to eat. But noticing the other man watching, Sean asks, "Would you like one? My wife has made me plenty." "Thank you very much, but I must decline your kind offer," says the other man, "I’m Rabbi Levy." "Nice to meet you, Rabbi," says Sean, "but my sandwiches are alright for you to eat. They only contain cheese. There’s no meat in them." "It’s very kind of you," says Rabbi Levy, "but today we Jews are celebrating Passover. It would be a great sin to eat a sandwich because during the 8 days of Passover, we cannot eat bread. In fact it would be a sin comparable to the sin of adultery." "OK," says Sean, "but it’s difficult for me to understand the significance of what you’ve just said." Many weeks later, Sean and Rabbi Levy meet again. Sean says, "Do you remember, Rabbi, that when we last met, I offered you a sandwich which you refused because you said eating bread on Passover would be as great a sin as that of adultery?" Rabbi Levy replies, "Yes, I remember saying that." "Well, Rabbi," says Sean, "that day, I went over to my mistress’s apartment and told her what you said. We then tried out both the sins, but I must admit, we just couldn’t see the comparison."
