Time 1h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

¼ cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup fat-free evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon almond extract
1 cup chopped fresh figs
2 cups chopped fresh figs
¼ cup packed brown sugar
¼ cup water
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray two 8-inch round cake pans with vegetable oil spray.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together flour, salt and baking powder. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream butter with the sugar until fluffy. Add egg and beat well. Add flour mixture alternately with the evaporated milk. Fold in vanilla and almond extracts and 1 cup chopped figs.
  • Divide into two prepared 8-inch round cake pans. Bake in preheated oven until cake springs back when lightly touched with a fingertip and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool cake layers on wire rack.
  • To make the filling: In a saucepan, combine 2 cups chopped figs, brown sugar, water and lemon juice. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 20 minutes. Spread thinly between cooled cake layers and on top.
