INGREDIENTS

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 🧂 1 teaspoon salt
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves

  • Main Ingredients

    • 1 pound dried figs
    • 🥛 ½ cup buttermilk
    • 🍬 1 cup white sugar
    • 🧈 ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 🥚 2 large eggs
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 cup chopped walnuts

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 10-inch tube pan by greasing and flouring it.

2

Place dried figs into a saucepan, cover with water, and simmer over low heat until soft (around 5 minutes). Drain the figs while reserving ½ cup of cooking liquid.

3

Sift the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and cloves into a bowl.

4

Cut figs into ¼-inch cubes and combine the reserved cooking liquid with buttermilk in a medium bowl.

5

In a large bowl, beat the sugar and butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla. Alternate mixing in the dry ingredients and buttermilk mixture, then stir in figs and walnuts.

6

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

7

Cool the cake in the pan for 15 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
