Prep and Preheat

Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a cupcake tray with paper liners.

2

Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, whisk together 1 and 3/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt.

Cream the Butter and Sugar

In a separate bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of softened unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the Eggs and Vanilla

Beat in 2 large eggs, one at a time, and add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Fold in the Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with 1/2 cup of milk. Fold until just combined.

Prepare the Fig Filling

In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of fresh figs (chopped), 1/4 cup of water, and 2 tablespoons of honey. Simmer over low heat until the figs soften and the mixture thickens. Let it cool.
