Vanilla Cake with Mascarpone & Figs

Figs are dear funny little things. Apparently hailing from the Garden of Eden, I am loving the addition of these dried and fresh sweet treats to my kitchen.

Vanilla Cake with Mascarpone & Figs
4 eggs
2/3 cup caster sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanille essence
1 cup of self-raising flour (I used wholegrain)
Seeds of one vanilla pod
Mascarpone, Figs & Honey to serve

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and prepare a muffin tray.

Beat the eggs until they begin to foam (around 5 minutes) then gradually add the sugar, vanilla and vanilla seeds, continuously beating the mixture.

Sift in the flour and gently fold the mixture together to combine. Pour the batter into the prepared tray and allow to cook for 15 minutes.

Once the cakes have cooled top with mascarpone, a fig half and drizzle with honey.
