Fig-Honey Cornmeal Cake

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and flour a 9-inch round baking pan. Set aside.
2. 2
   Slice figs into wedges (about 6 wedges per fig). Arrange figs onto prepared baking pan. Set aside.
3. 3
   Combine egg, honey, and olive oil in a medium-sized bowl.
4. 4
   In another bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Then add in the cornmeal and mix to combine. Add dry ingredient mixture into wet ingredients. Fold together until just combined.
5. 5
   Then pour the batter over the figs in your baking pan. Gently spread the batter around. It'll just barely cover the figs.
6. 6
   Place in the oven and bake until golden brown. In my oven it took about 13 minutes. It cooks very quickly! So check it after 10-12 minutes.
7. 7
   Once it's out of the oven, allow to cool. Then turn cake over onto a plate (so that the figs are on top) and drizzle with additional honey and serve!
