Gluten-free vanilla, apple and fig cake.
On a high from making an awesome apple and berry cake at work this week, I thought I’d try my hand at a GF version so my housemate could enjoy it too. Luckily the other week I dumpstered a few boxes of Orgran GF cake and muffin mixes. It felt like cheating but it still came out wonderfully, if a little sweet. I also wanted to incorporate some of the many fresh figs I’ve been finding in my suburb.
I followed the directions on the packet, adding 3 peeled, diced figs, a teaspoon of cinnamon, and a teaspoon of nutmeg. I layered sliced apple on top and sprinkled the whole thing with brown sugar.

I made this on Tuesday at my cake cooking job, and was so stoked about it. Loads of people came up to me to tell me how good it was. It was a fluke really because I was so rushed and don’t remember exactly what went into it.
