This sounds delightful. Hope we see some fresh figs in our market here soon. Will give it a try for sure. Bet is nice a very moist too. A 5 for you. Cheers!


I made a similar cake years ago, and it was delicious. I lost the recipe, so I am thrilled to see this one! Sounds scrumptious! :)


Oh wow, this looks so good! We've got a fig tree in the backyard, and I've searched and searched for recipes using fresh, not dried, figs! I can't wait to try this! Thank you and you've got my 5!


This sounds just awesome! Since the boys aren't fans of figs, I guess I get to eat it all my lonesome...HA HA HA


Mmmm...love figs!


GIRL, YOU DID GREAT WITH THIS POST! HAVE YOU EVER MADE STRAWBERRY FIG JAM? I ALSO ADDED THIS TO MY LOUISIANA LADIES!


Whoa, strawberry fig jam sounds heavenly, do you have the recipe? j


Figs rock - thanks for the great recipe!


I saw Ms. Lucy make a Fig Cake on LPB this morning, but I wasn't quick enough to get the recipe, so I was delighted to find this! My Mother-in-law brought me some homemade fig preserves, which are great as-is or on a hot biscuit for breakfast, but HONEY, I'll be trying this TODAY!


Tried it, LOVED IT! Making this one for Thanksgiving! Thank you Dahlin!
