Directions
Fig and Pistachio Loaf Cake,I picked up this recipe around ten years ago at a health food convention. It was put out by either the California Fig Board or Pistachio Board – I forget which. Plainly, they were in cahoots. Anyway, this is just delicious – probably my all-time favourite loaf cake. Prep time includes soaking of fruit and nuts.,This was delicious! I soaked the dried figs in water and OJ, used toasted walnuts, and used whole wheat flour. Even though I forgot the vanilla extract, it was simply fabulous! Some of the figs ‘melted’ into the batter, which gave it an interesting texture. Will make again!!,My husbad loves this recipe! The generous amount of figs (about 150 grams) gives the loaf a really interesting taste, rather like a heavily spiced cake. I added greated nutmeg (1 tsp) to the mixture as well as doing a dusting of grated nutmeg on top. OUTSTANDING! The loaf is already a firm favourite in the household – and the figs make it really filling. used the pistachios this time around, but for the next time, I’ll use almonds, because they’ll go just as well.
