    Vegan Fig Almond Cake or Anjeer Badam Cake is a soft and moist, light and delicate, delicious cake perfect for entertaining in summer when fresh figs are in season.  This recipe is so simple, quick, and easy to make that even beginners can impress anyone, and you will not believe that you made everything from scratch.

    I love to have it for breakfast, as a tea time snack, and after meal dessert. You can also try the same vegan cake recipe during fall or winter for thanksgiving and Christmas by substituting figs with fresh apples or pears.

    Fresh Figs vs. Dried Figs

    Personally, I had never tried fresh figs until I came to the US. I had only consumed it in its dry-fruit form as it was generally distributed as prasadam during special occasions at temples. It used to be one of my favorites because it used to be chewy on the outside, with crunchy edible seeds on the insides. The dried fig or anjeer is packaged in a unique way, unlike other dry fruits. They are sewn onto clean jute strings and look like salami.

    However, after coming to the US, I tried fresh figs and began loving them even more. They have a delicately sweet aroma and taste. Dried figs, on the other hand, have more concentrated flavors. Figs are available in plenty around this time of the year, so I decided to prepare fig almond cake. I have used fresh figs in the recipe, but you may also substitute these with dried figs.

    I am very happy that many of my recipes have been tried and appreciated by my readers, and they are also requesting me to post their favorites. I have a long list of such recipes requested by my readers, and I am doing them one by one. The majority of them have asked me to post vegan recipes, especially desserts. You will see more of such recipes on my blog, so stay tuned!

    This cake is dedicated to all my readers who have requested a vegan fruit and nut cake 🙂 If you are non-vegan, use whole milk instead of almond milk. Also, feel free to add any variety of chopped nuts and dry fruits of your choice to the recipe.

    Notes

    • You can substitute almond milk with dairy-free milk like soy milk or coconut milk. If you are non-vegan, use whole milk
    • I have used store-bought unsweetened almond milk and fine-granulated sugar.
    • If fresh figs or anjeer are not available, dried ones can be used. The texture and taste will vary accordingly.
    • Use a baking pan of the desired shape. The baking time of the cake will vary accordingly. 
    • You can make this vegan cake or dessert or loaf cake for thanksgiving or Christmas by substituting figs with fresh apples or pears in the recipe

      Fresh figs are so good. Our neighbour has a tree and lets me pick as many as I want. Going to pin this for later and make it when figs are in season. It looks really good!

      A wonderful delicious recipe. I used dried figs (from Greece) as out of season here in Australia. I sliced down the middle first then into 2/3pieces. I also used sultanas instead of raisins & unsweetened almond milk. After 40mins the cake had browned & starting to crack on top. I tested it & came out clean. I put square cake tin in fan forced oven at 180oC. Moist & yummy. . Will definitely make again. Cheers
