Fig + Cake = Fig Cake

Nifty how that works, isn’t it? And it just so happened there was a recipe for one in the very nifty Baking: From my Home to Yours by Dorie Greenspan. Not shown is the honey, port wine & lemon sauce the recipe calls for, though I did in fact make it (as I understand, it is even now being wolfed down by members of the U of L humanities department…the poor dears are nothing but skin and bone).
