Method

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 350 degrees.
  • Add butter to a 9 inch round baking pan and place inside of a warm oven until melted, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and sprinkle brown sugar evenly over the butter.
  • Add figs, flesh side up.
  • Sprinkle with 1 tsp of the rosemary.
  • Fill in the nooks and crannies with walnut pieces.
  • In a medium bowl sift flour, baking powder, and salt together.
  • In a separate bowl beat eggs with sugar at medium speed until creamy.
  • Because I liked this cake better with the eggs added whole rather than separating and adding the egg whites at the end, I beat the eggs and sugar for an additional 3 minutes until they were frothy and small bubbles formed.
  • Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture and beat until well combined.
  • Pour cake batter evenly over the fruit and smooth with a spatula.
  • Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until cake is golden and a toothpick into the center comes out clean.
  • Place on a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes.
  • Run a blunt knife around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake.
  • Invert carefully onto a plate.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature. Leftovers are yummy heated for about 15 seconds in the microwave!
  • Delicious with a bold cup of java or a cool glass of Chardonnay like this one Edna Valley 2010 Paragon. Crisp, citrusy with a hint of peach and a small amount of spice. Great paring with the strong lemon base of this cake!
