Instructions

For the Cake:

1. Heat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and grease a 10-inch springform pan with butter.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and cloves to remove lumps and aerate.
3. Blend Wet Ingredients: In another large bowl, whisk together honey, oil, coffee, sugar, and eggs until eggs are broken up.
4. Combine: Add dry mixture to wet and stir gently until combined.
5. Bake: Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake until golden, about 1 hour and 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

For the Topping:

1. Brown Figs: While the cake cools, melt the butter in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add figs cut side down and cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes until browned.
2. Caramelize: Add the liqueur and honey, stir to coat figs, and cook until syrup is golden and figs are soft but still intact, about 10 minutes.
