Ingredients

1 1/2 cups teff flour (if you don’t have teff flour on hand, we found it cheap with free shipping here)
3/4 cups tapioca flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
3/4 tsp. kosher salt
1 cup brewed chai tea
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup evaporated cane juice, *you can use brown sugar in a pinch
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
3/4 cup black mission figs, chopped
2 black mission figs, halved
coconut oil spray

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit
In a mixing bowl, combine all your dry ingredients (except your black mission figs, hold those to the side)
Then, mix in vanilla extract and coconut oil
When those are combined, fold in your evaporated cane juice (or brown sugar) and brewed chai tea
Work the batter gently till all the lumps are gone
Add in chopped mission figs
Grease a glass baking dish with coconut oil spray (though we like lining ours with parchment paper first and then adding the spray as well—it makes cleanup way easier)
Pour contents into the baking dish, giving it a few seconds to settle and eliminate air pockets
Top with halved black mission figs
Spritz the top with just a bit more coconut oil spray so your figs caramelize nicely
Bake until lightly browned and batter is set throughout (approx 25 minutes, but every oven is slightly different and you can check by inserting a toothpick in the center of your cake)
