1/2 cup cake flour
1 tsp allspice
75g unsalted butter, chopped
75g brown sugar
1/3 cup runny honey
200g dark chocolate, melted
¼ tsp Oryx desert salt

Preheat oven to 160°C. Lightly grease a large baking tray and line with baking paper. Grease the inside of 8 egg rings and place on the prepared tray.
2.Place almonds, figs, ginger, orange peel, flour and allspice in a bowl and mix to combine. Place butter, sugar, honey and 1/4 tsp Oryx desert salt in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through and the sugar has dissolved.
