Favorite Fig Bread (Fig Cake) Recipe

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

Step 2

Mix dry ingredients (flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, ground cloves, ground nutmeg, cardamom, cinnamon, and sea salt) in a large bowl until combined.

Step 3

Place the walnuts in a ziplock bag and pound with a mallet until crushed. Another option is to use a small food processor. Fold the walnuts in with the dry ingredients.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, whisk the wet ingredients (oil, milk, eggs, and vanilla and chopped figs).

Step 5

Fold wet ingredients into the flour mixture and stir just until incorporated. Pour batter into a greased and floured bundt pan, or two loaf pans.

Step 6

Bake in the oven, on the middle rack, for approximately one hour for a bundt pan. If using loaf pans, bake for approximately 45 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 7

Cool the fig bread for approximately 10 minutes before removing it from the pan. Cool on wire racks completely before slicing it.
