This recipe is extremely flawed. The "dough" all but turns to liquid on the cookie sheet, and I ended up with batter all over the bottom of my oven. Retest this recipe!

This recipe makes a delicious and very moist cake. I imagine that a variety of fruits could be substituted (dates, raisins), but fresh figs are perfect for this recipe. I did have some trouble with the frosting--I wasn't sure what constituted "spreading consistency," so I believe that I overmixed the frosting, and it ended up pulling up bits of cake as I tried to ice it. Still, I would make this again.
