Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh figs (chopped)
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 3 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1/2 cup whole milk (or almond/oat milk)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Prepare Your Figs: Wash fresh figs under cold water, pat dry, and chop them into quarters. Reserve some whole figs for decoration if desired.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and light brown sugar until light and fluffy (about three minutes).
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour and baking powder. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients while alternating with milk until just combined.
- Fold in Figs: Gently fold in chopped figs until evenly distributed throughout the batter. Be careful not to overmix.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for about 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow it to cool slightly before transferring it to a wire rack. Decorate with reserved whole figs if you wish.
