Red Wine Fig Pound Cake
1.
Let me show you the trial dried figs sent by Gourmet Jie, which is different from other brands for direct consumption.
2.
Marinate the dried figs in red wine overnight in advance and cover with plastic wrap.
3.
Dried figs are chopped into fine pieces and do not need to be crushed too much, as they have a better taste in chunks.
4.
To soften the butter, add in caster sugar or powdered sugar and mix well.

Beat with a whisk until the butter is fluffy, not too long to avoid separation of oil and water.

Sift in low-gluten flour and baking powder, and mix well.
8.
Pour in the dried figs and stir again.
9.
Pour the mixed batter into the mold and smooth it with a spatula.

11.
Add 5 grams of powdered sugar to the red wine soaked in dried figs and mix well.
12.
Take out the cake and brush the red wine brushing material on the surface of the cake.
13.
It can be released from the mold when it is slightly cooler.

Tips:
1. Under normal circumstances, the cake will crack naturally. If there are no cracks in 25 minutes, take a knife and scratch the surface of the cake, and then continue to bake it until the surface of the cake is colored.
2. It is said that this cake will only taste better on the third day, but I think it is very good to eat that day, and it is impossible for our family to wait for three days. Haha, if you have the chance, you can try it.
3. The temperature and time of the oven should be adjusted flexibly according to the actual situation.
4. Pound cake can be made into many flavors, including nuts, raisins, and original flavors.
5. Red wine I choose low-alcohol sparkling wine, which tastes very sweet and fruity. If you don't like the taste of wine, you can use white water instead.
