Ingredients
FOR THE CAKE:
Baking spray
2 1/2 cups All purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons Baking powder
1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
1 teaspoon Salt
3/4 cup Granulated sugar
2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary
2 tablespoons Fresh orange zest
6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (at room temperature)
1/4 cup Olive oil
2 large Eggs (at room temperature)
1/4 cup Honey
1 cup Milk (at room temperature)
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
FOR THE FIGS:
2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
12 Figs (stems trimmed, quartered lengthwise)
1/2 cup Honey
Salt & pepper

Step by Step Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 and coat a 9-inch round springform pan with cooking spray.
  2. Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl and set aside.
  3. Thoroughly pulse the sugar, rosemary, and orange zest together in a food processor.
  4. Beat butter, oil, and rosemary mixture together in a bowl at medium speed, then add the eggs one at a time, beating the mixture again after adding each one.
  5. Decrease mixer speed to low, then add flour mixture in three batches, alternating with the milk, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. Increase the speed to medium and let mix for 20 seconds. Add vanilla and beat for 10 seconds.
  6. Add the batter to the prepared pan and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, rotating the cake midway through the cook time.
  7. Transfer cake to cooling rack and let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then dislodge from pan and let cool on the rack for 1 hour.
  8. Prepare the fig topping: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat and let brown (this should take 3 to 5 minutes), then add the figs, season them with salt & pepper, and let cook for 3 minutes. Stir in the honey and remove the pan from heat.
  9. Slice the cake and top the slice with the prepared fig topping.
