Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons orange zest
- 0.5 cups freshly squeezed orange juice
- 0.5 cups plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cups dried figs, chopped
- 0.5 cups brown sugar (for streusel)
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour (for streusel)
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for streusel)
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted (for streusel)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and orange zest.
Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients in thirds, alternating with the orange juice and Greek yogurt, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
Fold in the chopped dried figs with a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
To make the streusel topping, combine the brown sugar, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, and melted butter in a bowl. Use a fork to mix until a crumbly texture forms.
Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the cake batter.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Slice and enjoy the Figgy Orange Streusel Cake with a cup of tea or coffee!
