Healthy Dried Fig Cake for 8 Slices

Instructions:

1. Place the chopped dried figs in a small bowl and cover them with boiling water and lemon juice. Let them steep for 10 minutes until the figs are plump and the liquid has partially absorbed.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, vanilla, and melted coconut oil until smooth.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, stirring with a spatula until just combined.
5. Fold in the rehydrated figs and their remaining soaking liquid.
6. Pour the batter into a parchment-lined 8-inch round cake pan.
7. Sprinkle sliced almonds on top and drizzle with a tiny bit of maple syrup.
8. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 40–45 minutes until the edges are mahogany-colored.
