Fig Cake with Honey Cream Cheese Frosting (For Two)

1.Grease a 6-inch round cake pan with oil or shortening. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2.In a medium bowl, beat together with an electric mixer the butter, brown sugar and apple sauce. Add the canola oil, vanilla and orange zest and continue beating until very well combined. Add the egg and beat til combined. Set aside.
3.In a small bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and allspice. Add the chopped figs to this mixture and stir to coat them with flour. Pour half of this mixture over the wet ingredients and fold it in with a spatula. Add the remaining flour mixture and fold it in until well combined.
4.Pour the batter into the cake pan and bake 24-28 minutes, until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Do not overbake the cake or it will dry out. Let it cool slightly in the pan, then tip it out of the cake pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
5.In a small bowl, beat together all frosting ingredients until smooth and creamy. Add more honey to taste, if you like.
6.Frost the cake and garnish with extra dried figs.
