FRESH-FIG CAKE WITH HONEY CREAM-CHEESE FROSTING
This dense and deeply figgy cake, adapted from Eli's Table in Manhattan, gets its complex flavor from a combination of fresh figs and fig jam, seasoned generously with cinnamon, cardamom and ginger. It's then filled and topped with cream cheese frosting that is sweetened with a combination of confectioners' sugar for lightness and honey for richness. Over all, it's a bit like carrot cake, except softer and sweeter. You can make the cake two to three days ahead and store it, well wrapped or under a cake dome, in the refrigerator. It gets even moister as it sits. If you can't get fresh figs, chopped peeled apple works nicely as a substitute.

Steps:
- Make the cake: Heat oven to 325 degrees. Butter and flour a 10-inch cake pan (or two 9-inch pans), and line the bottom with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, baking soda and salt.
- Using an electric mixer, whisk to combine sugar and eggs until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Whisk in oil and buttermilk or yogurt to combine.
- Using a rubber spatula, gently fold dry ingredients into egg mixture just until combined. Fold in figs, jam and pecans.
- Scrape into prepared cake pan and bake until browned and springy to the touch, about 65 to 75 minutes (or 35 to 45 minutes for the 9-inch pans). If the top gets too dark before the cake is finished baking, cover it with foil. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
- While cake is cooling, make the frosting: Using an electric mixer, beat butter, cream cheese and salt on low speed until smooth. Beat in honey and vanilla, then beat in confectioners' sugar.
- To assemble the cake, remove cooled cake from pan and peel off parchment paper. Slice cake in half horizontally, so you end up with 2 layers. (You don't need to do this for the 9-inch cakes.) Spread half the frosting between the layers, sandwiching it. Dollop remaining frosting in a thick layer on top of the cake, leaving a 1-inch border on the top of the cake, the sides, bare. Chill until ready to serve. Just before serving, top with sliced figs.

GREEK YOGURT WITH A FIG, DATE, AND HONEY SWIRL
Steps:
- Toast the nuts in a saute pan over medium heat until they become fragrant. Put the nuts onto a plate and set aside; when cool enough to handle, chop them roughly. In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the figs, dates, honey, water, lemon juice, and cinnamon stick. Cook for about 10 minutes until fruit is soft. Set aside and let it cool slightly; remove the cinnamon stick. Place the yogurt in a big bowl. Spoon the warm fruit onto the yogurt and gently swirl the fruit through the yogurt. Sprinkle on the nuts and garnish with mint leaves. Serve immediately.;
Tips:
- Choose ripe, fresh figs for the best flavor and texture.
- If you can't find fresh figs, you can use dried figs, but they will need to be soaked in warm water for 30 minutes before using.
- You can use any type of yogurt you like in this recipe, but Greek yogurt or skyr will give you a thicker, creamier texture.
- If you don't have honey on hand, you can substitute another type of sweetener, such as agave nectar or maple syrup.
- To make a vegan version of this recipe, use plant-based yogurt and honey.
- This recipe is also gluten-free, making it a great option for people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
