Fig Cake Frosting Recipe Sumptuous On Butter Cake
Fig frosting is one we don’t see very often. Figs can be so sweet and concentrated, they’re more often used in cakes that are balanced with a mellow vanilla or cream cheese frosting. So, we were excited to see the opposite: a butter cake with a fig frosting! We think the butter cake recipe is great for tempering the rich figs. You may also consider a fig-goat cheese frosting lightly drizzled with honey.
Fig Frosting Recipe
1 egg white, unbeaten
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel
1 drop almond extract
1/3 cup chopped figs
Combine egg white, sugar, water, and lemon juice in top of double boiler, beating with mixer until well mixed. Place over rapidly boiling water, beating constantly, and cook for 4 minutes, or until frosting will stand in peaks. Remove from the boiling water and add lemon peel, almond extract, and figs. Beat until thick enough to spread. Frosts top and sides of an 8-inch square cake.
