Yossy Arefi’s Soft Chocolate and Fig Cake
You’ll fall hard for this chocolate fig cake. I sure did.
Imagine a deliriously, deep, rich chocolate-y cake that’s like the love child of a brownie and a molten lava cake.
It’s the stuff of dreams, isn’t it?
It surely is my fantasy come true, especially with its scattering of plump fresh figs on top. So much so that I can’t stop myself from digging a fork into it again and again in utter bliss.
That’s what “Soft Chocolate and Fig Cake” will do to you.
This incredible — and incredibly easy — cake is from the new cookbook, “Sweeter Off The Vine” (Ten Speed Press), of which I received a review copy.
It’s from the super talented Yossy Arefi, a Brooklyn-based food photographer, food stylist and baker, who created the charmingly named blog, Apt. 2B Baking Co., where she chronicles her baking endeavors.
This is one of those must-have cookbooks. And I don’t say that lightly, not when my shelves are already groaning under the strain of too many cookbooks. But if you’re like me and love to bake, you will find yourself bookmarking practically every page because these are down-home treats with a personality all their own that are in no way an ordeal to make.
