Add in the eggs one at a time and beat until they are fluffy and pale yellow in. After the ricotta cake batter is made and spread out in the pan, a basket of cut-up figs is arranged on top.

I quartered the larger ones and halved the smaller ones, then nestled them into the cake batter because it wasn't clear whether they went on top or had to be pushed in.

The recipe didn't specify what type of figs, so my daughter chose the sweeter green figs over the darker ones. I quartered the larger ones and halved the smaller ones, then nestled them into the cake batter because it wasn't clear whether they went on top or had to be pushed in. Arrange the sliced figs in the muffin cups (overlapping is okay). Fill the muffin cups with the cake batter about three-quarters of the way full. Figs are one of the reasons why I love fall.
