Instructions

1. Sift the flour into a bowl. Warm the yoghurt with the milk, crumble in the yeast and stir in the sugar. Add the warm yogurt mixture to the flour and mix a little with a fork.
2. Add the flaked butter, the orange peel and the salt. Knead everything with the dough hook of the hand mixer to a smooth dough. This should no longer stick to the edge of the bowl and should have a smooth surface. Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour.
3. For the filling, chop the figs and place in a bowl. Pour the orange juice over it and let it soak for at least 30 minutes. Mix the softened butter with the honey. Grease a springform pan well.
4. Roll out the well-risen yeast dough on a lightly floured work surface into a rectangle of approx. 25 x 40 cm. Stir the almonds and cinnamon with the fig and orange mixture into the honey butter. Spread this paste as evenly as possible on the rolled out yeast dough.
5. Now roll up the dough sheet firmly from the longer side and cut into approx. 2-2.5 cm wide slices. Place the slices tightly together in a ring in the springform pan. If necessary, press it a little flat so that an even surface is created.
6. Cover the pan and let the cake rise for another 20-30 minutes. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 200 ° C top / bottom heat. Bake the cake in it for about 25-30 minutes. Allow to cool in the mold.
7. As long as the cake is only lukewarm, mix the powdered sugar with the honey, water and juice. Brush the cake with this topping and let it soak in a little if necessary.
8. Tastes lukewarm as well as cold and lasts for several days.
