For a richer flavor, use whole milk instead of evaporated milk. If fresh figs are not available, you can use dried figs, rehydrated in warm water. A touch of cinnamon or nutmeg can be added to the cake batter for a warm, spiced flavor. Serve with a dollop of freshly whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
