Pour a cup of coffee and slice into this Spiced Fig Preserve Cake; a sticky sweet spiced bundt cake packed with luscious fig preserves!

Spiced Fig Preserve Cake

Baking brings me such joy, not only because I turn up the beats, vigorously whisk and take pride in a treat that I prepared from scratch; but I cherish that opportunity to share that treat with another soul. To see them enjoy a confection made with love and passion and appreciate it. To get to know, even your bestest friend on a deeper level, even if you are simply bonding by laughing at one or the others’ clumsiness.

This Spiced Fig Preserve Cake is quite possibly the best “bond with your bestie or a complete stranger over a cup of coffee and a slice of cake” cake! I have made some variation of this cake for several years, most recently for a women’s retreat that I helped cooked at.

This cake helped those ladies bond with each other as they sipped their morning coffee and prepared for the day. Not only that, since they loved this cake so much, they came into the kitchen to thank me and ask for the recipe; which allowed for more conversations and the opportunity to connect with complete strangers. That, I believe, is the true testament of a fantastic recipe.

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2 cups granulated sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground allspice

Instructions
