Ingredients: 1/4 cup butter, softened

1 cup white sugar

1 egg

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 cup evaporated milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon almond extract

1 cup chopped fresh figs

1/4 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup water

2 cups chopped fresh figs

1 tablespoon lemon juice

 

Directions

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 chopped figs.

Divide into two prepared 8 inch round cake pans. Bake

at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes, or

until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out

dry.

 

To make the filling: In a saucepan, combine 2 cups

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

layers of cake and on top.
