Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups white sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 3 eggs
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup whole milk
• cooking spray
• 1 cup pecan pieces
• 2 cups mashed fig preserves

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Combine flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl; beat into egg mixture until blended. Fold in fig preserves and pecan pieces until incorporated. Pour batter into the prepared pan.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Coat a 12-cup fluted tube pan (such as Bundt) with cooking spray.

Step 3

Beat sugar and eggs in a large bowl with an electric mixer until sugar dissolves; stir in oil. Add milk; mix well.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
