Fresh Fig Cake With Walnuts Crumb Topping#SundayFunday

Fresh Fig Cake With Walnut Crumb Topping is so delicious and perfect for when fresh figs are in season. This cake is so light and delicate and combined with the crunchy walnut crumb topping, it’s just superb! It’s also great for tea time too!
Ingredients
3 Eggs
1 Cup Vegetable oil
½ Cup Sugar
½ Cup light brown sugar
½ Cup Water
1½ Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2 Cups All Purpose Flour
2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
¾ Teaspoon Salt
1¼ Teaspoon Cardamom powder
1/3 Cup Crystalized Ginger - diced
8 Fresh Figs - sliced vertically 
For The Crumble
½ Cup All Purpose Flour
½ Teaspoon Baking Powder
A Pinch Salt
2 Tablespoons White Sugar
2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
¼ Teaspoon Cinnamon powder
71 Grams Butter - melted
½ Cup Chopped Walnuts

Method 
Preheat oven to 180°C.
Grease a 9” cheesecake pan butter and set aside. If you use a smaller pan the top and bottom of the cake will burn, the time taken to bake will be longer.
In a large bowl combine eggs, oil, sugars, water and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine and set aside.
In a small bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt and cardamom. Whisk to combine.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk slowly to combine. Stir in the candied ginger.
Pour cake batter into pan, arrange figs cut side up, in a circle around the cake. Set aside.
To Make The Crumble 
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugars and cinnamon until combined. Add the melted butter and stir with a fork until a crumble forms. Then stir in the walnuts.
Sprinkle crumble on top of figs and cake, evenly distributed.
Bake cake for 50 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. If top starts to brown too quickly cover with foil until fully baked through. 
Allow to cool and serve for tea time or for Sunday brunch.
