Time 1h45m

Yield 1 9-inch bundt cake

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 cups vegetable oil
1 3/4 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 tablespoon vanilla
1 cup walnuts, toasted, chopped (I like them in large pieces)
1 1/2 cups fresh figs, quartered (remove hard tip on fig first)
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup dried dates or 1 cup prune, pitted, cut in half
1 cup raisins

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a 9-inch bundt pan.
  • In a small bowl, combine flour, salt and baking soda. In a large mixing bowl, mix sugar and oil for 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time. Add vanilla and mix. Add flour mixture and mix just till combined. Fold in walnuts, cranberries, dates or prunes and raisins.
  • Spoon ½ of the batter into prepared bundt pan. Place ½ the figs around on top of batter and push lightly into the batter. Spoon remaining cake mixture on top of figs. Sprinkle remaining figs evenly on top of cake and lightly press them into cake batter.
  • Bake for 1 hr 25 minutes or until cake tester comes out clean (I use a long bamboo stick, as a toothpick is not long enough for a thick cake.) Cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Turn out onto a cooling rack.

I had some trouble finding fresh figs, so I used dried figs instead. The cake still turned out well, but I think it would have been even better with fresh figs.
