Sprinkling nuts on top of the batter before it bakes, rather than mixing them in, helps concentrate the nut flavor. Ingredients:
1/3 cup hazelnuts |
3/4 cup fresh orange juice |
1 cup chopped dried figs |
1/2 cup sugar |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
1 tablespoon grated orange rind |
1 large egg |
1 large egg white |
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Place hazelnuts on a baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes, stirring once. Turn nuts out onto a towel. Roll up towel; rub off skins. Chop nuts.
3. Bring orange juice to a boil; pour over figs in a bowl. Let stand 15 minutes. Combine sugar, oil, rind, egg, and egg white; stir well with a whisk. Stir into fig mixture.
4. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl; make a well in center of mixture. Add fig mixture to flour mixture, stirring just until moist. Spoon batter into an 8 x 4-inch loaf pan coated with cooking spray; sprinkle with nuts. Bake at 350° for 45 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pan on a wire rack; remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack.
