    ■ Serves 6-8 ■ Prep 20 mins plus cooling ■ Cook 1 hr VEGETARIAN

    250g butter, softened, plus extra for the dish
    5 tbsp golden syrup
    4 tbsp honey
    8 fresh figs
    4 large eggs
    250g golden caster sugar
    250g self-raising flour
    1 tsp baking powder
    1 tsp vanilla extract

    FOR THE TOPPING

    4 tbsp full-fat Greek yogurt
    2-3 thyme sprigs (optional)
    extra virgin olive oil or honey, for drizzling (optional)

    Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter a 20cm x 22cm ovenproof dish, then pour in the golden syrup and honey. Trim the stalks from the figs, then cut a deep cross in the top, just so they open out a bit, but be careful not to cut all the way through. Sit the figs upright on top of the syrup and put them in the oven to bake for 15-20 mins until softened and starting to caramelise a little at the edges.
