+ Preheat the oven to 180C. Grease a 23x23cm square baking tin and line the base with baking paper
+ Soak the dried figs in the black coffee with the coffee chews.
+ Meanwhile, in a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.
+ In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until pale and thick. Beat in the eggs, one at a time.
+ On a slow speed, beat in the flour until just combined. Fold in the coffee mixture and then the sour cream. Fold in the apples.
+ Transfer the cake batter to the prepared tin and gently press the fresh figs into the top of the cake.
+ Bake for 30 mins. Drizzle the top of the cake with maple syrup and bake for a further 5 mins, or until an inserted skewer comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 15 mins before serving.
+ Lightly whip the cream and drizzle with maple syrup. Serve with the cake.
