Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and optional cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition, and then mix in vanilla extract.
- Mix in yogurt or sour cream until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing gently until just combined.
- Fold in the chopped fresh figs and nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
- Pour batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving, if desired.

Notes
For best results, avoid overmixing and allow the cake to cool completely before slicing.
