Figgy Pudding

Figgy Pudding

Figgy pudding is dense and moist — a perfect finale to your Christmas dinner. Though traditionally steamed or boiled, this figgy pudding recipe is baked in a fluted tube pan. Orange zest, orange marmalade, and orange flavoring add fruity flavor to every bite. Drizzle a sweetened glaze over the cake before slicing, or add a dollop of whipped cream to each piece.

Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Gently heat buttermilk and figs in a saucepan over medium-low heat until softened, 10 to 15 minutes; set aside until cool.
Step 2
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a tube pan. Grease one side of a sheet of aluminum foil.
Step 3
Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt together into a bowl.
Step 4
Beat eggs in a separate, large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed for 1 minute. Add the cooled fig and buttermilk mixture, bread crumbs, melted butter, almonds, orange marmalade, orange zest, and orange-vanilla flavoring; beat on low speed until blended.
Step 5
Gradually mix in the sifted flour mixture until just incorporated. Spoon batter into the prepared pan and cover with the greased foil.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until firm and pulling away from sides of the pan, 1 hour 15 minutes to 2 hours.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Turn out onto a wire rack.
