Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or 175 degrees Celsius.

In order to prepare the fig cake, combine flour, salt, and baking powder in a medium-sized container.

Combine granulated sugar and softened butter in a large mixing bowl, utilizing an electric mixer to achieve a light and airy texture.

Fold in vanilla extract, almond flavoring, and 1 cup of chopped figs to the mixture.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow the cake layers to cool on a wire rack, providing them with adequate time to set.

To prepare the fig filling, combine 2 cups of chopped figs, brown sugar, water, and lemon juice in a saucepan.
