Spiced Fig Walnut Cake

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.

2. 2

   Put the dried figs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring to a gentle simmer over low heat and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Drain the figs, saving 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid.

3. 3

   Sift the flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and cloves into a bowl.

4. 4

   Cut the figs into 1/4-inch cubes. In a medium bowl, combine the buttermilk with the reserved cooking liquid.

5. 5

   In a large bowl, beat the sugar and butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk mixture, then stir in the figs and walnuts. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

6. 6

   Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, 50 to 60 minutes. Let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack and cool completely.
