For the frosting

  • 500g labneh yogurt
  • 1/4 cup (90g) runny honey, plus extra to drizzle
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Grease a 22-centimetre round pan and double-line with a baking sheet.

Pour the raisins into a small bowl and cover with hot water. Let that stand for 10 minutes, then drain.

Combine eggs, oil, honey and vanilla in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together the almond meal baking powder and spices. Add that into the egg mixture, and stir.

Pour into the pan, smoothing out the surface. Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Check the cake by placing a skewer in the centre and see if it comes out clean.

Once done in the middle, set aside to cool before frosting.

To make the frosting, stir together yogurt, honey and vanilla extract until smooth. Spread onto cake, and decorate with figs, pistachios and a drizzle with honey.
