This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe.

I was a bit hesitant to make this cake because I'm not a huge fan of figs, but I'm so glad I did! The cake was surprisingly delicious and the fig flavor was not overpowering. I will definitely be making this again.
