This old-fashioned Fig and Molasses cake is so moist and delicious. It reminds me of my great-grandmother Zoie. She always had a dessert made and sometimes it would be a cake like this, buttery with just the right amount of spice. I will post the shortcut recipe (box cake mix) first then I will post the homemade second. I would love to hear from you if you bake one and what you think of it.
Fig and Molasses cake (shortcut recipe).
1 Yellowcake, Spice cake, or Butter Cake mix(if using a spice cake mix omit the spices)
1 stick of butter
1 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
4 eggs
1/2 cup Molasses
1/2 tsp. ginger
1/2 tsp. cloves
1 cup chopped figs tossed with 2 teaspoons of flour.
Streusel
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Stir together until mixed well.
Cream together the butter and eggs, add cake mix, ginger, and cloves, gradually add 1 cup of milk
1/4 cup oil, 1/2 cup molasses, mix for a few minutes, scrape it down, and take off mixer and add the figs stirring until mix well don't overmix. I use a 13x9" pan, sprayed, floured, and parchment in the bottom. Pour cake mixture into pan and sprinkle with streusel over the top and bake at 350* for 30-40 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.
