This is one recipe I have always wanted to try, but have had continuous failures. First two times have been a disaster and the third time I tried changing the recipe and landed with the gold mine. My fourth time now, my figs butter sponge was impeccable and I definitely want to share with you guys.

Caramelized figs here in my recipe are honey roasted. Instead of having white sugar or brown sugar, I decided to go with the much more natural option which is the honey. The results are, as you can see, perfectly caramelized figs with a slight bitter note, which will go perfectly hand in hand with my sweet sponge cake.
And the mould used here is my new Christmas tree mould.., I am trying to season the mould for my Christmas Bakes.

Let’s get onto the recipe now

  1. Butter at room temperature – 1 cup
