Keith was given the very decadent Unwrapped by a friend some years ago. It is incredibly decadent and so I don't make things from it terribly regularly, however, I have for some time now been eye-ing a recipe which has almonds, dried figs and chocolate in it. Today we had a wonderful group of friends for lunch and as I hadn't made any dessert I roped Keith and Zack into the manufacture of this fabulous cake. There's lots of grating and chopping and folding involved, so plenty for little hands to do. Unfortunately I didn't have any Amaretto, but it didn't seem to affect the taste enormously. The finished product was slightly overcooked (a bit brown on the edges), but lovely and crunchy from the fig seeds, and deliciously rich. We served it with chocolate icecream – chocolate overdose, but they'd recommended cream. Pity, I didn't have any.
