How to Make Honey And Fig Cake

Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease and flour two 9x5 inch loaf pans.
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup honey, and ½ cup unsweetened applesauce until light and fluffy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ¼ teaspoon ground cloves.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in 1 cup chopped dried figs and ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice and serve. Enjoy!
