Moist and full of fig flavor, this cake is similar in texture to a rich gingerbread and is one of my favorite ways to use figs.
Ingredients
- 1 pint chopped or smashed fig preserves (with syrup)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 stick butter
- 1 cup and 3 tablespoons flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 cup buttermilk
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine all dry ingredients together - baking powder, flour, salt, soda, nutmeg and cinnamon.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix together buttermilk, figs, melted butter and egg. Add the dry ingredients gradually to the wet ingredients and mix thoroughly.
Step 3
Pour into a well-greased floured 9x13 pan, bake at 375 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
