I'm not a baker, but this cake was so easy to make and it turned out so well! The fig preserves gave it a really unique flavor and the cake was very moist and fluffy. I will definitely be making this cake again.

This cake was a bit of a disappointment. The fig preserves were too tart and the cake was a bit dry. I would not recommend this recipe.

This cake was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. The fig preserves were delicious and the cake was very moist. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe if you don't like your cakes too sweet.
