Ingredients for this Fresh Fig Cake Recipe:
For the Cake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup white sugar
- ¼ cup butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup fat-free evaporated milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- 1 cup chopped fresh figs
For the Syrup:
- 2 cups chopped fresh figs
- ¼ cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
- Prepare the Cake: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, cream together the white sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg, evaporated milk, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the butter mixture and mix until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the chopped fresh figs.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Prepare the Syrup: While the cake is baking, combine the 2 cups of chopped fresh figs, brown sugar, water, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for about 10-15 minutes until the figs break down and the syrup thickens.
- Finish the Cake: Once the cake is done, allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Drizzle the fig syrup over the cooled cake before serving.
