A fig cake made with spices.

Cook Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup ground almonds
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1 cup finely chopped figs, fresh or dried

Preparation:

Grease a 9-inch Bundt pan or tube pan; dust with flour.

Mix together flour, ground almonds, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice, and salt.

Beat together sugar and oil until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition.

With electric hand held mixer at low speed, beat flour into egg mixture a little at a time, alternating with orange juice. Stir in figs. Spoon batter into prepared baking pan; smooth top.

Fab fig cakeAugust 11, 2009By shelbyfarmrocks
"This was very yummy. The only thing, as the other reviewer mentioned, was the cook time is way off. I also cooked the cake for about an hour. I did add a couple teaspoons of cocoa and used orange-mango juice instead of orange juice...ground up my own almond flour and used fresh figs from my tree. Fantastic!!!!"
