Classic Fig Pudding
Ingredients
  • 1 3/4 cups buttermilk
  • 12 ounces dried Calimyrna figs, coarsely chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups white whole-wheat flour (such as King Arthur®)
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups dry bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 (2.45 ounce) package sliced almonds
  • 3 tablespoons orange marmalade
  • 1 tablespoon grated orange zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon orange-vanilla flavoring (such as Fiori di Sicilia®
Instructions
1
Collect all necessary ingredients and prepare them for use.
2
Heat the buttermilk and figs in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until they have softened and reached your desired consistency, approximately 10 to 15 minutes; set the mixture aside until it has cooled down completely.
3
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Grease a tube-shaped baking pan and also grease one side of a sheet of aluminum foil for easy removal later.
4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
5
Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat the eggs in a large bowl for about 1 minute. Then, gradually add the cooled fig and buttermilk mixture, bread crumbs, melted butter, almonds, orange marmalade, orange zest, and orange-vanilla flavoring; mix on low speed until everything is well blended.
6
Gradually incorporate the sifted flour mixture into the egg mixture, just until it's combined and you don't want to overmix.
7
Pour the batter into the prepared tube pan and cover it with the greased foil, making sure to seal it tightly.
8
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour and 15 minutes to 2 hours, or until it's firm and pulling away from the sides of the pan.
9
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
