This cake is a bit too dense for my taste. I might try using a different type of flour next time.

I'm not a big fan of cakes, but this one is really good. The fig preserves give it a nice tangy flavor.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not usually a fan of fig preserves, but this cake changed my mind. The flavors are so well-balanced and the cake is so moist. I'll definitely be making this again.
