Time 1h45m

Yield 1 9-inch bundt cake

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
1 3/4 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 cup walnuts, toasted, chopped (I like them in large pieces)
1 1/2 cups fresh figs, quartered (remove hard tip on fig first)
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup dried dates or 1 cup prune, pitted, cut in half
1 cup raisins

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a 9-inch bundt pan.
  • In a small bowl, combine flour, salt and baking soda. In a large mixing bowl, mix sugar and oil for 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time. Add vanilla and mix. Add flour mixture and mix just till combined. Fold in walnuts, cranberries, dates or prunes and raisins.
  • Spoon ½ of the batter into prepared bundt pan. Place ½ the figs around on top of batter and push lightly into the batter. Spoon remaining cake mixture on top of figs. Sprinkle remaining figs evenly on top of cake and lightly press them into cake batter.
  • Bake for 1 hr 25 minutes or until cake tester comes out clean (I use a long bamboo stick, as a toothpick is not long enough for a thick cake.) Cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Turn out onto a cooling rack.

This cake is my new favorite! It's so easy to make and it always turns out perfect. The cake is moist and flavorful, and the frosting is the perfect amount of sweetness. I've made this cake for parties, potlucks, and even just for my family, and it's

I've made this cake several times and it's always a hit! The cake is moist and flavorful, and the frosting is the perfect complement. I love that I can use fresh or dried figs, depending on what I have on hand.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cake didn't turn out like the picture. The cake was dense and heavy, and the frosting was too runny. I'm not sure if I'll try this recipe again.

This cake was a disappointment. The cake was dry and crumbly, and the frosting was too sweet. I wouldn't recommend this cake to anyone.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. The cake was moist and flavorful, and the frosting was smooth and creamy. I would probably make it again, but I would use less sugar in the frosting.

I'm not a huge fan of figs, but I loved this cake! The figs were perfectly balanced with the other ingredients, and the cake was moist and flavorful. I will definitely be making this cake again.

This fig cake was a delight! The combination of sweet figs, crunchy walnuts, and tangy goat cheese was perfect. The cake was moist and flavorful, and the crust was flaky and buttery. I will definitely be making this cake again.
