I don’t like figs, can I use apples instead? I like the sound of the walnuts though.
Ok cake, but it’s not my favorite. Just not a fig fan. Do people really like figs?
YUMMY! I love walnuts and figs! Thanks for sharing this recipe, will make it again!
Is it really 1/2 cup of butter? Seems too much to me! Didn’t want it to be greasy.
I think it’s fine, butter makes cakes moist and tasty! Trust the recipe. 😊
Nah, 1/2 cup is a lot! Mine would be too greasy for my taste. Maybe try using less?
Wow, just wow! Best cake I’ve ever baked!! 🍰❤️
This cake is amazing! The figs add such a unique flavor to it. Definitely a keeper!
Perfect for tea time! I’ve made it twice now, can’t get enough.
Not a fan of figs, honestly. I just replaced them with chocolate chips and it turned out better!
I don’t know… figs give the cake a unique flavor. You should try it once instead of just changing the recipe.
Chocolate chips?! That’s genius! I might have to steal that idea next time. Figs are kinda weird anyway.
How do you make a cake without eggs? Is that even possible? This recipe seems weird.
It’s possible to make cakes without eggs! You can use things like applesauce or flaxseed as substitutes. But this recipe does include eggs. 🤔
I tried this but it turned out really dry. Maybe I mixed it too much? Not the best.
Delicious! Everyone loved it at my family gathering. Will make again for sure!
Really? I thought figs were gross. How can you even taste the cake with those in it?
I’m so glad to hear that! Fig and walnut is such a unique combination. I’m gonna try it for my next gathering too!
This cake was amazing! So moist and delicious, my family loved it!
This recipe is easy to follow but my cake turned out dense. Did I do something wrong? 🤔
I didn’t have walnuts, so I used pecans. Still turned out great! Yum!
Not bad, but I would recommend using less sugar. It was a bit sweet for my taste.
5 stars!! I can’t believe how good this turned out! Highly recommend to everyone!
It was okay, but I think I used too many figs. Should’ve listened to the instructions better.
