Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cups granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons orange zest
• 0.5 cups freshly squeezed orange juice
• 0.5 cups plain Greek yogurt
• 1 cups dried figs, chopped
• 0.5 cups brown sugar (for streusel)
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour (for streusel)
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for streusel)
• 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted (for streusel)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and orange zest.

Step 5

Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients in thirds, alternating with the orange juice and Greek yogurt, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped dried figs with a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

To make the streusel topping, combine the brown sugar, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, and melted butter in a bowl. Use a fork to mix until a crumbly texture forms.

Step 9

Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the cake batter.

Step 10

Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 11

Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Step 12

Slice and enjoy the Figgy Orange Streusel Cake with a cup of tea or coffee!
