You are amazing. Thank God for you and all you do.

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

Good morning! Thank you for your sweet thoughts. I love what I’m doing… I was blessed to grow up among wonderful southern cooks and I want to pay it forward. Thank you for watching!!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@sherrydbrice597]

Oh my goodness!!!!!!!!! I can't believe it. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. My great grandma used to make this for me. She wouldn't let anyone else have any until I had a piece. I will be making this.

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

Now....you might have been a little bit spoiled!!!! hahahaha

[@garystaab7835]

Wow, I made this today and all I can say is WOW!!! It is definitely going in my collection of family favorites. I baked mine in a tube pan and while it was still hot and still in the pan, I poked holes all over the top and slowly poured the glaze over and let it seep in. Absolutely delicious warm with a glass of cold milk. Thank you.

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

You are so welcome!

[@lindaheuitt9325]

I just love fig preserves. I know I'm going to love this cake.

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

Linda Heuitt can’t wait til you try it!

[@robind8149]

Oh my gracious, you are so right about this cake and the glaze!!! I don’t usually care for fig things, so I mostly made this last night for my daughter and grandson, who do like them, and it is incredibly delicious! I cultivate kefir, so I used that in place of the buttermilk, and it worked great! The glaze is so delectable, it would be glorious on ANY cake! Thank you so much…😊🙏❤️

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

You are so welcome!! I usually have kefir going.....But by myself it is hard to use it. My grains are in the fridge right now. lol Yes!!!!! The cake is awesome! I am so glad you liked it! My aunt Audrey was such a wonderful inspiration and cook! The BEST christian lady, she loved God!!! And, the best cook around! Everyone wanted to eat at her table! Nothing fancy about her, just real......down to earth, country lady. Oh, I loved her!!!

[@robind8149]

@@ApronstringsGayJordan - I know what you mean about the kefir… even with five of us, I have a hard time using all I make. My daughter, grandson and I do love our kefir smoothies though, I just freeze the kefir in ice cube trays that have lids, then add some of those, with some frozen fruit, and almond milk into a blender, and they are amazing!😊🙏❤️

[@Debe2]

Delicious is this cake!!! Made it tonight and it is out of this world!!

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

Wonderful!Oh good!!!!!!!! It is so moist, isn't it???

[@traceywoehler9448]

Can’t WAIT to make this! Also thanks so much for the Fig Preserves video as well….

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

You are so welcome! This cake was always my request at my aunt's house....so good!

[@robind8149]

Oh yay! I’ll have to try this one too… my daughter and grandson both love fig preserves, so I’m sure they would be big fans!😜🙏❤️

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

This is my favorite cake that my auntie made. And...she made lots of good ones!!!!

[@lovelylady9102]

Best cake ever

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

Omgoodenss!!!! It is!!!!! So moist!

[@henrycooks1883]

You had some very talented cooks in your family, it is how we learn, watching them. I cook a lot like they did and I know you do, trying to write it all down so my kids can make it, is no easy task, I hate to measure, then I cook it with the measurements to make sure it is going to come out right.

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

I had a family of great cooks. Mama had 5 sisters.....Daddy had one. Daddy's sister was such a good cook!!!! I love my heritage recipes!!!!!

[@robinbutler7863]

Looks wonderful, a must try. Thank you for sharing.

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

It is so moist and good!!!!! My Aunt Audrey was one of the best cooks ever!!!

[@melissafain8998]

Omg! I wld really enjoy this cake

[@robinbutler7863]

Happy anniversary and God Bless you and yours.

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

Thank you! Have a wonderful week!!!!

[@jaynewhite6699]

I have made this cake it is so delicious 😋 I made it with fig preserves from my fig tree in the backyard. Then I decided I would make one for Thanksgiving so I went and looked the video up again. This time I wrote down the recipe. When I made it my husband said buttermilk glaze doesn’t sound that good.😂 but when he was eating the cake he said this buttermilk glaze is delicious it makes the cake. He said it was one of the best cakes he has ever had.

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

Oh, that makes me so happy! it is truly one of my favorites.

[@sheilatroge3073]

Looks delicious and yummy ms . Gay god bless

[@calderart]

I made it! I needed to use up the huge Avva Fig preserve with vanilla from Costco. (So i left out the vanilla extract) We love it! Thanks.

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

I am sooooo glad you liked it! I absolutely make myself sick on it. Delicious!

[@bohemiangypsy99]

I could listen to you talk all day lol. It's that lovely Southern accent. Figs, mangoes and passionfruit are my favourite fruits to eat, so I definitely wrote this recipe down. Thankyou Gay. Happy anniversary to both you and Troy. Michelle

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

Fig Preserve Cake with a rich buttermilk glaze Gay Jordan - Apron strings Ingredients for Gay's "Aunt Audrey's" Fig Preserve Cake Cake: 1 c. oil 1 & 1/2 c. granulated sugar 3 large eggs 1 tsp. salt 1 tsp. baking soda 1 T. vanilla 2 c. flour 1 c. of fig preserves 1 c. of buttermilk 1 c. chopped pecans Directions: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Mix the oil and sugar until blended. Mix in the eggs. Add and mix in the salt, baking soda and vanilla. Mix in the flour well, then add the figs and mix again. Slowly add and mix in the buttermilk. Stir in the pecans. Pour the batter into a prepared bundt cake pan. Drop the bundt pan twice lightly on the counter to get any air bubbles out. Bake for about 45 minutes. Buttermilk Glaze: 1 c. sugar 1 T. white corn syrup 1/2 c. melted butter 1/2 c. buttermilk 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1/2 tsp. baking soda Directions: Put all ingredients in a pan. Stirring frequently, bring up to a boil - Boil for 3 minutes. Slowly drizzle the glaze over the cake while it is still hot from the oven. You can poke holes in the cake so the glaze can soak into the cake as well. Some of the glaze will pool into the center and around the outside of the cake. Note: You may need to keep spooning the glaze over the cake until it begins to cool and thicken, better coating the cake. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hmK9cpuvjJplj80

Here's to licking the bowl, the beaters and the spatula!

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

tlbruffy you know it!!!😂😂😂

[@djosieposey]

Thanks for sharing your recipe. By the way, when you make your glaze and say soda, did you mean baking soda ?

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

Yes, correct

[@lusineroy]

Are you sure this isn't Bubba Hiers recipe? Its in his book , Uncle Bubbas Savannah seafood cookbook, same exact ingredients and measurements to the T.

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

Lucy Roy I have no idea where my aunt Audrey got her recipe in the 50’s. I got it from her when i was 13. I’m 68....I’ve never heard of him. But I will go look up His cookbook now 😄

[@lusineroy]

@@ApronstringsGayJordan how odd, his sister Paula Deen just uploaded the exact cake just a few days ago on youtube

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

Lucy Roy idk. If it wasn’t in his cookbook I might think she copied my cake. 😂😂😂😂cause mine was uploaded a year or so ago.

[@lusineroy]

@@ApronstringsGayJordan nope, its in his book published 2007 if I'm not mistaken

[@rebeccadees2300]

Can you use 2 loaf pans?

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

Yes, you sure can. 😍

[@vickiey4561]

Happy anniversary! This cake looks delicious! I bet the figs do make it moist! I use to make a date and carrot bread that I never told anyone what was in it until they ate it because I knew they wouldn’t try it. But everyone loved it! I lost the cookbook in a move somehow so I no longer have the recipe and haven’t found one like it again. I sure do miss it though.

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

vickie Y I hate to loose a favorite recipe! This cake is so good. Moist.....oh so moist! Thank you for the anniversary wishes!

[@chrismergener6762]

Hello! I have been a subscriber for just a few months and I am wondering if you could please print the instructions for your recipes at the bottom of the videos like others do? I see that there are sometimes recipe cards at the end but no instructions. Even though I enjoy watching and listening to you, I don't like having to keep trying to replay the video. You have many good recipes and I would like to make them. I copied the Pound Cake one and now can't find it. 😠 I think I dropped it at the store. Darn it. Thank you.

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

I don't know about typing the whole thing with ingredients....I always put a card with the amouts at the end. The idea is.....youtube channels need views to grow and make money....Mine isnt large enough yet to post the recipe and instructions...so folks can just copy it and not watch. I hope this makes sense to you. I am sorry. I will always put a card at or near the end I do thank you for watching!!!!

[@chrismergener6762]

Thank you for responding back to me and your explanation. I will continue to watch your videos and just do the best I can copying the recipes. 💕

[@clethelineemerich9592]

How did u make the fig preserves

[@ApronstringsGayJordan]

Cletheline Emerich I cover the figs with sugar until you cant see the figs. Let them set a while. Then cook on low until they’re as thick as you want. Thank you for watching!😀
