Don't throw away the tea; it tastes really good :) I used oil instead of butter and it came out really well. Shukran Alia!

[@cassiepereira4249]

May i know how much quantity oil did you use please.. thank you

[@kato3247]

[@azarazat]

[@cookingwithalia]

Tara Golchin so glad you liked it!!!

[@EZGlutenFree]

Dear Lord. That's Gorgeous. I love walnuts and figs. The cake looks absolutely spectacular.

[@gloriagordon1049]

I made this yesterday for a party I attended, Oh my Alia, there was nothing left, people were even fighting for the crumbs, hhhh. Thank you SO much for this AMAZING recipe! I just LOVE your channel!

[@anniegeorge7595]

Thanks Alia! I tried it with just half cup brown sugar and omitted the white sugar, it tasted awesome! A keepsake recipe!

[@jeromesassani9537]

I do the same with everything.

[@BethyKable]

Great tip about soaking figs in tea to rehydrate them. Looks delicious !

[@martinajanatkova2484]

I live in Morocco now and everything is in arabic so this is a help much needed! Thank you and I will make this cake. Bsalama choukran

[@jda9482]

fig and walnut cake cake out awesome. instead of baking in the oven I pressure cooked it and it came out moist and texture was superb. was just trying to be a little innovative in terms of baking... followed the recepie as suggested... thank you for the recepie

[@DKen2k]

Don't doubt this recipe at all, it's amazing, I soaked the dried figs in just hot water and the cake was still great.

[@deborahwainwright4597]

I made this cake today and it is very delicious. I used fresh figs and it came out lovely.

[@bakuexpat1653]

I made this using chopped fresh figs since they are in season and it was a very delicious cake, I will use much less sugar next time and more flour to make it more like bread as it was much too sweet for my family but very tasty. With love from Azerbaijan

[@GumriRN]

Oh good I wondered if i I could use FRESH FIGS since I have too many from my tree right now & can’t even give them away. People don’t know how good Fresh Figs are. But I thought the batter might be too wet with Fresh Figs. Guess I’ll see.

[@AussieAngeS]

Omg that looks absolutely amazing! Wow

[@amirhouseingholinia2023]

You and your fig walnut cake look so good and delicious. Marhaba

[@Tina28134]

I love all Morocco recipes thank you so much 😊

[@TheBellcinema]

Tasty delicious and .....looking forward to making it again. I just think i will put a bit less sugar. The combination of the spices transported me to far away destinations :)). Many THANKS for sharing the recipe and keep up the sweet work.

[@rosam.rivera4268]

I just made this with fresh figs and almonds. I only use half cup of brown sugar. I didn't do the tea. Mine was ready in 38 min. It is very good.

[@YasmineSay719]

Can't wait to make this InshaAllah.

[@josiahhezekiah5505]

Looks good

[@noureenahmad6900]

Hey, I just made this cake and it was delicious !!! However the sugar amount is too much so instead I used less sugar and more flour and it gave it more spongy texture, but the cake recipe was simple and easy!!!

[@Ryoko007]

omg, ive only been searching on Google for fig recipes. But this recipe looks amazing!! i am going to make this tomorrow or day after. Thankyou!

[@salmamullen8938]

What size cake tin was used plz . I would love better details and measurements . Looks amazing ☘️☘️☘️☘️

[@soniacamoes7257]

I just tried to make this cake at home and it turned out AMAZING! I just didn't use cloves or grounded ginger because I can't find these items in my country and I used hazelnuts instead of walnuts because that was what I had at home... Thank you for sharing the recipe! ^.^ I will come back for many more now! :D

[@sumayaalshaybani8712]

[@fireballplay2946]

Looks just delicious.....can’t wait to try it ! Yummy!

[@chefmike9945]

Alia! Clever recipe. Hydrating the dried figs in tea is brilliant. Is that typically Moroccan? Keep these lovely videos coming. Blessings ChefMike

[@cookingwithalia]

chef mike so glad you like it!!! thank you for all you encouragements! it means a lot to me.

[@cookingwithalia]

chef mike In Morocco, there are different ways to softened dried fruits: let sit in hot water or steam them. Then either we cut them and put in cakes, or we make a paste of them (especially dates) and use them as fillings for cookies. I like to use hot tea instead of just plain hot water :-)

[@megsarna7429]

i used to soak them in plain water. but tea is a good idea or maybe in rum. good flavors

[@claudiomenesesc]

Great recipe and gorgeous smile. Thanks for sharing.

[@PiccoliVirtuosi]

it looks wonderful, congrats!

[@marcelitanava]

Can you use coconut oil instead of butter? To make it a big healthy 🙏🏼

[@zinebanis]

عالية توحشناك شكرا على هاد الوصفة البنينة أكيد

[@jahabarnachiya7844]

Mouth watering.

[@mitsu31280]

I like that 'mix'

[@vh2337]

It's in the oven now and smells wonderful.I'm curious as to why you don't just mix all the liquid all at once and then add the dry ingredients ending with the figs and walnuts. I didn't go through all those steps in your recipe, I just mixed the wet and then added the dry after. Most recipes I've used over the years do it that way so I'm hoping it will work out fine.

[@rosam.rivera4268]

I did the same

[@znadeem46]

I wont be in peace until i make this cake and eat it. Now ive made this cake now im in peace😝😝

[@morasa3992]

Yummm

[@nayyarricha]

Hello Can I use fresh Figs instead of dried ones for this cake

[@Mryaseen2001]

try to replace tea with cofee mind blowing mine today cake 😉😋😋😋

[@OrchidFlower86]

Hi Alia, this is gorgeous! :) Looking really attractive & delicious! Instead of tea, can I use water (not hot) & sugar? My mom always put it in water & sugar among other dried fruits to soften them for dried fruit salad. Can I use the same way of softening? Or something like soak it in juice after heating it? Thank you :)

[@cookingwithalia]

OrchidFlower86 hot water makes the dried fruit soften faster. if you use cold water you'll have to wait a little more and they may not be as soft. it depends on how soft you want the dried fruits to be :-)

[@OrchidFlower86]

cookingwithalia Thank you Alia :)

[@PeggySue-RL]

I had a pear cake made with pear preserves. D y ou have this cake recipe?

[@HeartOfHippie]

I got a big bag of chopped figs and didn’t know what to do. Now I do

[@elizabethgeorge667]

Can you let me know the measurements , Alia...It looks so delicious..Want to try

[@hanokitchen93]

اريد الترجمة احببت هذه الكيكة👌👍

[@SezKis]

Wow! I'll definitely make this one. But if i make a date version of this instead of figs, should i soak them with the tea like in the video? My dates in my kitchen are really sticky. Thanks in advance ❤

[@sarikagupta5336]

Thanku

[@salonideshmukh7567]

Can I add minced ginger instead? I couldn't find ground ginger! :-(

[@mariaroqueta2456]

Thank you Alia for using figs… I have a whole bag of them in my fridge! I do not like dates at all. Can you make more recipes using figs? ??????????????????????Thank you!!!!!

[@cookingwithalia]

Maria Roqueta search in youtube "cookingwithalia figs" or "cookingwithalia dates" (you can use dates and figs in similar ways and in same recipes). I have a few in KZbin already :-)

[@sfzabawa]

Watched your video; loved It! My fig cake is in the oven right now :-) do you have your recipes printed somewhere?

[@hana.the.writer5074]

Guys never waste good butter for greasing a pan underneath the parchment paper. Use bad trans fat oils for that, place your paper (thogh the paper was made to prevent cake from sticking so why bother greasing under it anyways.) then roll your butter on the sides and over the parchment paper just a tiny bit because good parchment papers and well-beaten batters do not stick. Experience 💁🏻‍♀️

[@savitagupta4754]

Instead of soaking in black tea, can I soak the figs in just hot water since this will be consumed by kids

[@sanakashif4520]

Can we use fresh figs instead of dried for this recipe?

[@elenihelenmelb]

Sana Kashif Most likely yes - but do t soak them in the tea

[@mayraaponte3627]

Hola, se ve increíble! Podría reemplazar la mantequilla con aceite de coco? o 50/50?

[@mt7427]

Can I use fig jam? How much would I need? It sounds delicious.

[@stellasalopes8843]

Hi Alia, I don't have a round baking pan. Do you have any idea if I use a rectangular like for the pound cake or a muffin pan How long I need to put in the oven? Thank you

[@zeynepp71]

Why you keep dry figs in a tea instead of just plain hot water? I mean does the tea give a taste ?

[@asmaemaach3085]

TBARKALLAH 3lik

[@normazamora9632]

Can fresh figs be used instead of dried figs? Would the recipe need be adjusted with fresh figs?
