Ingredients
1 pound (453g) dried figs
4 cups hot water
The Dry Ingredients:
3 c (400g) all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped walnuts
The Wet Ingredients:
1 cup (240g) tahini
1 and 1/2 cups (315g) granulated sugar
1/2 cup (125ml) vegetable oil
1/2 cup (125ml) orange juice
1 cup fig water
flax egg substitute: 1 tablespoon finely ground flax seeds plus 3 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
The Glaze:
1 and 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar
3-4 tablespoons orange juice
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 °F, 180 °C.
Spray the inside of a 9 by 13-inch (23 by 33cm) baking pan with baking spray.
Place the dried figs in a pitcher and pour 4 cups of steaming hot water over them. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients together (except for the walnuts) and whisk them together.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the wet ingredients together. Whisk until smooth.
Lift the figs out of the hot water. Pour 1 cup of the fig water into the wet ingredient mixture and whisk together.
Cut the hard stem tips off of the figs and disgard. Chop the figs into smaller pieces.
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in 3 batches. Toss the walnuts in the final batch of dry ingredients and add to the batter.
Using a spatula fold in the chopped figs.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake on the center rack for about 35-45 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean or with moist crumbs attached.
Allow the cake to cool completely while you prepare the glaze: Combine the glaze ingredients together in a mixing bowl and whisk them together until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and serve. Kali Orexi!
Notes
Dates can be substituted for the figs. If using dates, do not soak them in water. Add extra orange juice to the cake in place of the fig water.
