Figgy Cake

It didn't take much for me to fall in love with this recipe. I love figs... I love the beautiful mauve color of their flesh, the soft way that you have to cut them, their delicate sweetness... mmm their just amazing in every way. AND to top it off: this recipe seems to be infused with fall. If you're not in the mood for fall yet, well, this should help.

Recipe:


2. cups flour (I used WWpastry)
1 1/2 c. sugar
1tsp. salt, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon
3 eggs
1c. veg oil
1c. buttermilk
1tsp. vanilla
1c. fresh figs (halved)
honey to top with

Oven at 325. Butter/flour/or just spray an 8inch round cake pan... or a heart pan... whatever makes you happy.

Whisk together flour, sugar, salt, baking soda, nutmeg and cinnamon. Whisk in eggs, oil, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in figs, then pour into prepared pan.
Bake for 35-40 minutes.

Let it cool completely, then drizzle that delicate creation with honey before serving. Maybe cut up a few figs to put on top, just because it looks pretty.
