INSTRUCTIONS
CAKE
GARNISH
ORANGE ICING
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Prepare two 10 inch
round spring form pans (it is also possible to use a 9 inch by 13
inch pan). Sift dry ingredients together. Combine liquids, then stir
into the flour mixture. Fold in shredded carrots and figs. Pour into
the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-40 minutes (longer if using a 9
inch by 13 inch pan). When making a layered cake (using 2 identical
sized pans), after the cakes have cooled, place the bottom layer of
the cake on a serving plate (with parchment paper under the edges),
and spread the icing/frosting over the top of this first layer. Then
place the second layer on top of the first, and frost/ice the entire
cake.
Garnish cake with citrus zest. Refrigerate to set the frosting/icing
to the cake.

(maple syrup, brown rice syrup, barley malt syrup, etc) can be used,
and in varying amounts depending on your tastes .- "Lime Icing" - Use
lime zest in place of orange zest and lime extract in place of orange
extract. - "Lemon Icing" - Use lemon zest in place of orange zest and
lemon extract in place of orange extract.
