The Hirshon Ocracoke Island Fig Cake

The Hirshon Ocracoke Island Fig Cake


  • Total Time: 0 hours

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup salad oil
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly-ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp. freshly-ground cardamom
  • 1/4 tsp. mace
  • 1 tsp. freshly-ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon freshly-ground allspice
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla paste
  • 1 1/2 cups fig preserves
  • 1 cup walnuts, chopped


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a tube, Bundt or 9-by-13-inch baking pan; set aside.
  2. Whisk eggs in a medium bowl. Stir in sugar and oil until fully combined. Set aside.
  3. Sift dry ingredients together in a large bowl bowl. Stir egg mixture into flour mixture, alternating with buttermilk and vanilla. Fold in figs and nuts.
  4. Bake for about 1 hour in a tube or Bundt pan but check at 40 minutes; the cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. (The cake will likely take less time in 9-by-13-inch baking pan.)
  5. Let cool. If using a tube or Bundt pan, remove cake from pan, slice and serve.
