Cooking

Pour the raisins with hot water and add a spoonful of the balsam or brandy.

Grate in a suitable container the zest of one tangerine.

Add the zest to the sifted flour and grated butter. Grind into crumbs, add the eggs and honey. Quickly knead homogeneous dough, gather it into a ball and put into the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

In convenient container to beat the eggs, add the mascarpone, sugar syrup, rum essence and starch. I ran the immersion blender, you can whip cream with a mixer.

Roll out the pastry slightly larger than baking dish. I took the detachable form 26 cm to Transfer the dough to the form, to straighten, lay out the edges and prick the dough with a fork.

Spread the cream on the dough. Cut the figs into halves and spread cream cut up. Between the halves of figs put the raisins, draining the liquid and a bit of his absusive cloth.

Lightly sprinkle the top with sugar. Carefully wrap the edges over the cake. Preheat the oven to 180*.

Send the pie in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes. I immediately lowered the temperature to 150*. Be guided by Your oven!!! If necessary, you can cover the top of the pie with foil the last 10-20 minutes. I have not covered.

The cake is ready. Give the cake a little stand in the oven, then take out and remove the split ring. Once the cake has cooled to warm, remove bottom and paper. You can put a pie to cool on the grill, but be careful, the dough is quite fragile.
