Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

Cupcakes on the menu? Try pairing with Cream Sherry, Port Wine, and Moscato d'Asti. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. One wine you could try is NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry. It has 5 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 19 dollars.

NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry

Very aromatic with notes of hazelnut, vanilla, and a touch of oak followed by sweet raisins and a touch of yeast. Clean lasting finish. Good now but will reward those allow it to age"". A favorite pre-prandial beverage. Consider it with nuts before dinner as an aperitif, or after dinner with dessert, especially chocolates and fruit-based desserts. Also wonderful on cold afternoons, served with biscotti to dip in ""Italian-style"". "

Instructions

  1. Grease muffin molds with melted butter or use paper or silicone "hats" (I did not have enough silicone ones, so I used paper cups as well).
  2. Mix flour with cornstarch and yeast in a separate bowl.
  3. Beat butter and sugar until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add egg and beat some more until well combined.
  5. Stir in flour with yeast and cornstarch.
  6. Add coffee, mix until smooth and creamy.
  7. Add figs, dates and nuts and stir gently.
  8. Fill half of each muffin cups with the mixture (or, if you want fewer cakes, fill each cup to the full).
  9. Bake little cakes in oven for about 25 minutes at 180C or until they are done (the trick with a toothpick!).
  10. When baked, allow cakes to cool slightly and then remove them from the mold. Serve lukewarm or cool.
