Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 175°C and grease and line a 10cm round cake tin.
2
Whisk the egg, sugar and honey together until pale and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
3
Beat in the vegetable oil and whole milk until the mixture is smooth and emulsified.
4
Sift the flour, baking powder and cinnamon over the wet mixture and fold in gently until just combined.
5
Fold in the chopped fresh fig, walnut and orange zest, distributing evenly through the batter.
6
Pour the batter into the prepared tin and smooth the top with a spatula.
7
Bake for 32-35 minutes until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean and the top springs back.
8
Cool the cake in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
9
Warm the remaining honey gently and brush it over the top of the cooled cake.
10
Arrange the sliced fresh fig over the glazed top just before serving.
