Toffee Crusted Figgy Bundt Cake

Recipe's preparation

Preheat oven to 160ºC. Prepare bundt tin by buttering well, set aside.

Place dates, figs, bicarb and water into TM bowl and cook for 5 minutes at Varoma temperature on speed 2.

Add butter and combine to melt for 30 seconds on speed 3.

Add all remaining cake ingredients and mix for 20 seconds on speed 6. Scrape down and repeat.

Spoon into prepared tin and bake for 40-45 minutes until springy to the touch. Remove and cool in tin. Turn onto wire rack to cool completely. Sprinkle with almonds before carefully spooning toffee over.

To make toffee crust, place sugar and water into saucepan and heat on a low heat without stirring until sugar crystals are dissolved. Increase heat and bring to the boil. Cook until toffee reaches hard crack stage (150ºC if using candy thermometer).

If you have additional toffee, pour over some more nuts on a metal tray. Break up into toffee bark shards for garnish.
