Usually, I just enjoy the dried figs as it is. My intention was to try the flaxseed egg replacer in a cake and hence I tried baking this cake. Dried figs and orange zest was added to the cake batter, instead of egg ground flax seeds combined with water was added. By adding flax seeds and figs this cake became much healthier.<\/p>\n<p>Flaxseeds as the egg replacer worked well and the cake turned out to be moist and soft. Dried figs gave it a nutty and sweet flavour, while the orange zest made it aromatic and refreshing. Definitely a cake to entertain your guests in the evening along with a cup of coffee or tea.<\/p>\n<p>Recipe adopted from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marthastewart.com\/317071\/lemon-fig-cake\"
