Name: Hakan’S Fresh Fig Cake
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 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

Servings: persons

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

1
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a 9-inch bundt pan.
2
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.
3
Spoon 1/2 of the batter into prepared bundt pan. Place 1/2 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.
4
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.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
Leave out the nuts to make it nut-free, or swap in seeds for a similar crunch.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.

No specific allergen information. Please check the ingredient list for possible allergens.
