Made this dish last night after finding it on the web- if you have lots of figs at the moment - tryit - it is a fabulous desert. We had a blob of homemade vanilla bean ice cream on ours- stunning.
Combine the caster sugar, coffee, amaretto and figs in a small saucepan, simmer for 10 minutes.
Preheat oven to 170°C Fan bake, grease a 25cm loaf tin and line with baking paper.
In a food processor combine the hazelnuts and icing sugar and ‘pulse’ until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
Cream the butter and add the hazelnut-icing sugar mixture.Mix until combined.
Add eggs, one at a time.
Add the flour and mix well.
Pour into prepared tin, place in oven, cook for 30-40 minutes, or until a skewer comes out clean.
Allow to cool slightly, turn onto plate, pour the coffee-fig syrup over, just before serving.
Use the figs to garnish the plate.
Serve with vanilla icecream.
