Vegan Fig Almond Cake | Anjeer Badam Cake | Loaf Cake

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.

  • 1 ½ cup Almond milk (check tips)
  • ½ cup Raisins
  • ½ cup Almonds or Badam, chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch square cake pan and keep it aside.
  • In a large bowl, add all dry ingredients namely flour, brown sugar, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt, and mix well.
    3 cups All purpose flour, ¾ cup Brown sugar, ½ cup Sugar, 2 teaspoon Baking soda, 1 teaspoon Baking powder, ½ teaspoon Salt
  • To the dry ingredients, add vinegar, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and almond milk, and using a whisk or hand-held mixer mix until well combined. Do not over-mix.
    2 teaspoon Vinegar, ⅓ cup Vegetable oil, 2 teaspoon Vanilla extract, 1 ½ cup Almond milk
  • Add raisins, chopped almonds, and figs, and gently fold them into the batter.
    ½ cup Raisins, ½ cup Almonds, 12 Fresh figs
  • Pour the batter into a well-greased cake pan and bake it for about 55 – 60 minutes or until done. Use a toothpick or a knife to check if the cake is done. The baking time may vary depending on the size of the cake. So keep an eye on it at the 40-minute mark. If it starts getting brown, cover the top with aluminum foil.
  • Allow the cake to cool for about 10 mins. Then remove it from the cake pan and then let it cool completely on a wire rack even before you slice.
  • Vegan Fig Almond Cake is now ready. Serve and enjoy.

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
